A Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered luxury bus was badly damaged after a sudden explosion at the Lagos Garage Terminus in the Mando area of Kaduna State.
The unexpected blast caused panic among commuters and traders, with debris scattered across the busy park as people fled for safety.
Eyewitnesses said the explosion occurred without warning, leaving the vehicle severely wrecked and drawing widespread attention within the area.
Despite the extent of the damage, no casualties were reported, a development many described as surprising given the intensity of the explosion.
Emergency responders quickly arrived to secure the scene and prevent further danger.
While the exact cause remains unknown, the incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety of CNG-powered vehicles in Nigeria.
Authorities are expected to launch a full investigation, focusing on the vehicle’s condition, its fuel system, and compliance with safety standards.
The explosion is likely to intensify discussions around the use of alternative fuel vehicles, especially as Nigeria seeks cheaper options to petrol and diesel for transportation.
