A minor explosion followed by a fire broke out early Thursday at the 42 Engineers Brigade storage building in Ilese Barracks, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun. The Nigerian Army confirmed no lives were lost or injuries sustained, thanks to swift action by troops and the Ijebu-Ode Fire Service that contained the blaze.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause and prevent future incidents. Residents are urged to stay calm and carry on with their daily routines as the Army reassures its commitment to safety in the barracks and surrounding communities.
