A cooking gas e*plosion has killed a woman at the Tabernacle Area, Egbe Garage in Omu-aran Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

DAILY POST learnt that the incident occurred on Monday at about 10:35hrs while she was trying to prepare her family food.

F*remen were able to put the situation under control on time and saved the victim’s h*sband who had also been trapped inside the f*re e*plosion.

He was thereafter taken to the hospital.

Reports say the building areas affected by the f*re included the sitting room, kitchen and dining.

The Director, Kwara State Fire Service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, who confirmed the incident, charged the general public, particularly women, to go and learn the correct practice of using a cooking g*s cylinder.
