A devastating explosion rocked the Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State in the early hours of Sunday, leaving two people dead and causing widespread panic among residents.
The blast, which occurred around 5 a.m. at Ralph Engineering, a facility along Enerhen Road, reportedly originated from its oxygen gas plant. The explosion was so powerful that its impact was felt in nearby communities, including Udu, Warri, Osubi, and Okuokoko, jolting residents awake with its deafening noise.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as emergency responders rushed to the site, working swiftly to evacuate victims and assess the extent of the destruction. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the exact cause of the explosion, but preliminary investigations point to a possible gas leak.
This tragic incident has once again raised concerns about industrial safety standards in the country, especially following similar explosions in recent months. Experts and officials are calling for stricter regulations and enhanced safety measures to prevent future disasters.
As investigations continue, affected residents and businesses are left counting their losses, while many demand accountability from regulatory bodies and facility operators.
