The worst has happened.Simon & Uzochukwu Egbogu, from Obodo-Okwe in Ikenga Ogidi in idemili North L. G.A of Anambra state have been killed by gas explosion. According to report, the duo are victims of gas tank explosion belonging to Dangote cement.The leaking tank was brought to their workshop for repair.

The driver had told them that the tank was empty but it has some left over gas inside.The driver was said to have lied to them because he was in a haste.During the process of welding the tank,it exploded and killed the two.Their corpses have been deposited at a mortuary in Gboko, Benue State.

I'm not blaming the welders, but you see, most Nigerian workers bypass Safety procedures because of "Na so i dey do am before" mentality. Nigerians are yet to learn that ways of short-cut are ways of destruction.

Even if the driver lied. Those welders should have carried out their own checks.

One man's impatience lead to the death of two... RIP

The driver should be arrested and prosecuted for murder ASAP. Most of those truck drivers especially of dangote are agents of darkness.

how can a sensible person starts welding without checking the tank himself to make sure it is empty, a truck that was drove into your workshop and you believe the talk of the driver, some deaths are avoidable.

It is their fault..why believe what you are told that may lead to your death. Welding vessels used in lifting products is a dangerous operation. They ought to have their own internal safety system to guarantee them a bit of safety such as visual inspection,opening of valve to see if content will come out, flushing with steam or pressured water, gas testing if they can afford the equipment , fire extinguisher in place.

The Welders are still at fault. At times when we say a gas thank is empty doesn't mean that there is no vapour left. Before welding they should have opened it up and leave for about two days and if the driver is in a haste, you let him go instead of them mortgaging their own life.
Most Nigerian technicians are stupid. They careless about safety and what is Engineering without safety, Zero

oga if he was your normal customer you go always dey do check everytime? probably that is how it has always been and they took him for his words. So you mean they should push the tank or start checking guage and interrogating him. It is easy to say this because now you can see what has happened already.

About the op getting facts right.. It seem you hastily read the post so you didn't grab it in entirety. The op meant they hail from Anambra but work in Gboko Benue state.

The situation is actually a sad one.
