Two buses and some other cars were reportedly damaged on Sunday due to a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) explosion in a motor park in Kaduna State.

Thls is according to an eyewitness, Sanruk Musa, who shared the post on his official X account, @Saniology.

“This morning, I happened to be at the Mando Garage Motor Park, Kaduna to give out a message to Birnin Kebbi and found out that two Silver luxury travel buses had been damaged due to CNG explosion,” the eyewitness wrote.

Summarising the incident, Musa said: “At about 4:00 AM on Sunday, a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) bus belonging to Silver Travel & Luxury Bus was involved in a major explosion at Mando Garage Motor Park, Kaduna.

“The impact of the explosion extended to a second bus and nearby parked vehicles, causing significant damage and panic within the area.”

He said that preliminary findings indicate that the explosion originated from one CNG-powered bus owned by Silver Travel & Luxury Bus.

The force of the blast affected a second bus parked close by, as well as several smaller vehicles positioned at the side.

Musa explained that some other eyewitnesses reported a loud explosion followed by flames and thick smoke, with the intensity of the blast contributing to the spread of damage beyond the initial vehicle.

He added that the exact cause of the explosion is yet to be determined, however, possible causes may include gas leakage, cylinder failure, or improper handling of the CNG system.

Thankfully, according to Musa, there was no loss of life recorded following the incident .
