The leadership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on Monday afternoon empathised with the people involved in the gas explosion – and not bomb blast – that occurred in the early hours of Monday.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to the RCCG in a statement released by its Public Relations department, “against the news making the round, the incident was completely outside of the Redemption City and our fire service team only responded as part of our community service support to our neighbours within the environ”.
The statement added: “This incident which has been brought under control by the combined efforts of the RCCG Fire Service and Lagos State Fire Service occurred inside Axella Gas depot on the Sagamu-bound traffic between the Car Park C gate and the main gate of the Redemption City.
“We thank God the incident has been put under control.
“We wish to inform all residents and visitors to the Redemption City that there is no scare of any sort and everyone can go about their lawful and godly activities.”
