According to the Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe the outbreak of fire was recorded at 5 Adebiyi Street, Somolu Oja killing three persons. He said the fire was caused by the storage of Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, in their home.
It was gathered that that the family was cooking very close to where the fuel keg was kept when it exploded and burnt the house.
