A pregnant woman and four others were electrocuted as they fled from a petrol fire in a densely-populated part of Nigeria’s commercial capital Lagos, an emergency official said.
Ibrahim
Farinloye, of the National Emergency Management Agency, said the victims were
killed as they fled an explosion, caused when a live wire fell on a car loaded
with tanks of petrol.
They were
electrocuted when they ran into the power cable as they tried to escape the
inferno, he added.
The stampede
caused by the blast in the suburb of Oworonshoki also left a number of other
people injured.
“Five people,
including a pregnant woman, lost their lives when they ran into a live wire
that fell on a car that exploded and caught fire,” Farinloye said.
Rescuers
were able to put out the fire before it could spread to nearby buildings.
