Panic As CNG-Powered Travel Bus Explodes At Kaduna Motor Park, Engulfs Two Other Buses In Flames
Panic broke out in the early hours of today at Mando Motor Park in Kaduna after a travel bus powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) suddenly exploded, sending shockwaves across the area.
Eyewitnesses say the explosion was so loud and intense that many residents initially feared it was a bomb blast, triggering momentary chaos and confusion within the vicinity.
The affected bus was immediately engulfed in flames following the explosion, with the fire rapidly spreading to two other buses belonging to the same transport company parked nearby. Thick plumes of smoke were seen rising into the sky as onlookers watched in disbelief.
Despite the severity of the incident, no lives were lost—a development many have described as nothing short of miraculous. However, the extent of damage to the vehicles involved is reported to be significant.
As of the time of filing this report, the exact cause of the explosion remains unclear, though the incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety and handling of CNG-powered vehicles in public transport spaces.
Authorities are expected to launch a full investigation into the incident.
