One of the residents of the area told an online medium that there was a loud bang at a one-bedroom apartment that had two male occupants. The resident said though an occupant claimed that it was a cooking gas explosion, there was no smell of gas. The source said, “We heard a loud blast sound within Dawaki.

The noise emanated from a one-bed- room apartment with two male occupants. One of the occupants was injured and taken to the National Hospi- tal, Abuja for treatment. The second occupant alleged that it was a cooking gas explosion. However, there was no smell of gas, no fire, and the kitchen window (circled in the picture) was spared while other windows of the flat were damaged.
