Anaedooline.ng reported that, a gas station located in Umuoma Nekede Owerri-west LGA of Imo state has been gutted by fire, killing a family of five.
According to reports that the incident which took place on Friday was triggered by a truck discharging cooking gas.
According to an eye witness, Princely Onyenwe, the truck caught fire while discharging gas and destroyed vegetation around.
“I put the blame on the carelessness of the operators of Tiengo gas station who ignored its leakage. The flaring of the gas quickly sent the fire to a nearby compound and burnt five people, four children and the wife of Mr. Onyekpandu Ekeada.
“Another residential house affected by the inferno is brothers and sisters lodge. Gas stations should not be sited around residential areas because of their inflammable nature. The Imo government should look into this,” he advised.
