A yet-to-be-identified person has died in an inferno in Diamond Estate/Idowu Egba in Egbe area of Lagos.
The fire is suspected to have been caused by suspected vandals who ruptured the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation’s pipeline in the area in a bid to scoop fuel.
The ruptured pipeline was said to have spilled fuel continuously, leading to the inferno that razed four locations in the community.
Rescue and recovery operations are still ongoing as at the time of filing this report.
