Ade, a survivor of the explosion that rocked the Bodija area of Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital, on Tuesday, shared a photo of himself covered with dust after the near-death experience.
It was earlier reported that the explosion killed two persons, injured about 80 others and destroyed several buildings, vehicles, and other properties.
In the post via X, Ade said he revisited the scene and confirmed that someone was also rescued from a collapsed building.
He wrote, “I escaped. I don’t even know what’s happening here in Ibadan, but we are safe. All we heard was a massive blast.
“I just left the scene not quite long. The government officials are doing the best they can. Before I left, they were able to pull out someone from one of the collapsed buildings. A lot of properties were damaged.”
