Lagos Inferno
What caused the explosion that rocked Nigeria?
An explosion in Lagos, Nigeria rocked the city to its core. 23 people were killed, and a girls鈥� boarding school totally destroyed.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the country鈥檚 state-owned oil firm, said the blast in March occurred as a result of a truck that hit gas cylinders near one of its petroleum pipelines.
But 麻豆社 Africa Eye鈥檚 investigation indicates this explanation for the cause of the blast, that decimated over 100,000 square metres of the city, is wrong.
