Recall the tragic story of a gas explosion that killed two persons in Ajao Estate...
The death toll has now risen to four.
Residents have identified the deceased victims as a businesswoman and owner of the gas shop, Titilayo Adeyanju, her daughter, Funke, a customer identified simply as Alfa and Victor, a tailor, that was working in his shop nearby.
Victor was said to be working in his shop when the explosion occurred in one of the adjoining shops where gas was being refilled into cylinders.
Victor was reportedly rushed to the Faith City Hospital for treatment but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Three persons died on Tuesday during the explosion and no fewer than nine shops were destroyed by the impact of the explosion.
It was learnt that Titilayo had closed for the day when the welder, Alfa, came in a commercial tricycle to purchase gas at her shop.
Residents of the area, who spoke said, Titilayo initially refused to attend to Alfa, but after much persuasion, she changed her mind and instructed her daughter, Funke, who usually assisted her, to attend to the customer.
