Gas Powered Vehicle Explodes at a Gas Station in Edo State [VIDEO]

A gas-powered vehicle exploded while being filled, resulting in injuries to one individual.

This event has been captured and widely disseminated through videos online, leading to an intense public discourse regarding the safety of gas-powered vehicles in Nigeria.

The explosion has raised critical questions about the conversion of older vehicles to gas-powered systems. As noted in the discussions following the incident, there is a prevalent concern that "the car is just too old for gas usage," highlighting the risks associated with converting vehicles not originally designed for compressed natural gas (CNG).

In response to these concerns, there are calls for stricter regulations and oversight to ensure public safety.

The incident has prompted discussions about the necessity of adhering to international standards when converting vehicles and the importance of using factory-built CNG-powered vehicles over conversions done without warranties or adherence to safety protocols.
