There was a gas explosion yesterday at Chicason Gas Plant
in Nnewi, Anambra State.
According to an eyewitness, the incident started at about 11am and was
caused by an explosion that happened because a truck discharged its
contents without waiting for the mandatory cooling time. At the same
time, customers were said to be refilling their gas cylinders. The
source claimed that all customers who were at the gas plant had been
burnt to ashes. People who were in the neighborhood and passers-by
reportedly were also caught in the inferno.
The deceased and victims with heavy burns were taken to Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi. The heavy inferno did not allow rescue workers gain assess into the factory where victims in their hundreds were allegedly trapped.
