Gas Explosion Rocks Kwara Community: Three-Bedroom Flat Consumed by Fire in Asa LGA

Date: 2025-12-15

A fire disaster triggered by a sudden gas explosion on Sunday consumed a building of three-bedroom flats in the Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The incident occurred at approximately 16:27hrs (4:27 PM) at Temidere Community, Reke, in Asa Local Government Area of the state.

According to the spokesperson of the state fire service, Hassan Adekunle, the incident involved a building comprising three-bedroom flats, all of which were affected by the fire following a sudden gas explosion.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the incident was caused by gas leakage, which led to the explosion and subsequent fire outbreak. Hassan confirmed that firefighters promptly engaged the fire and carried out containment operations to prevent further escalation within the community.

The Director of the state fire service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, advised residents to exercise strict caution in the use of gas.

He stressed the importance of regular inspection of gas cylinders, hoses, and regulators, urging users to ensure proper ventilation, avoid using faulty or expired gas equipment, and to immediately shut off the gas supply when leakage is suspected. The Director emphasised that adherence to basic gas safety practices is critical in preventing explosions and loss of property.
