A gas explosion reportedly occurred at a Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc filling station on Obafemi Awolowo Road, Ikeja, Lagos.

“Crazy fire incident this morning at Mobil filling station, Awolowo Way Ikeja, just behind my office. Thank God for the swift action of the Lagos State Fire Service men,” he wrote on X.
