Gas leak responsible for minor explosion at Kaduna Motor Park – Police

From: Femi Oyelola in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Police Command has clarified that the minor explosion that occurred at Mando yesterday was not a bomb explosion, but a gas leak from a luxury bus.
According to a press release by the police, the explosion involved an LNG-propelled luxury bus belonging to Silver Luxury Travel, which was parked at the motor park. Preliminary investigations revealed that the incident was caused by overfilling of the gas tank, not by any malicious activity.
“The vehicle has since been evacuated to a safe location, and the area secured. No casualties or loss of property were recorded, and normal activities have resumed in the area,” the police statement read.
The Commissioner of Police, Kaduna State Command, CP Muhammad Rabiu, has ordered a full investigation into the incident to prevent future occurrences.
The bomb disposal unit of the Nigeria Police Force has also been dispatched to the scene.
