Many Dead, Dozens Injured In Lagos Fireworks Explosion


alt
An explosion in a warehouse has sparked a major fire in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city and commercial capital.
The country's emergency services said a fireworks store in the busy market area of Lagos Island exploded, and the blaze quickly spread to other buildings.
The blast reportedly shook windows of homes miles away and a thick cloud of smoke could be seen over the island.
People were seen with shrapnel wounds some distance from the fire and it is quite likely anyone closer would have been worse affected.
12 persons, it was said, were feared dead and a dozen others injured.
As at press time, officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), fire service, police, Nigerian Security Civil and Defence Corps (NSCDC) and others had visited the scene for rescue operations
