Three luxury buses belonging to Silver Transport company were destroyed in an early morning explosion at Mando Motor Park in Kaduna.
The exploded vehicles are CNG powered.
The incident occurred around 3:00 a.m. when the vehicles were parked in preparation for interstate trips later in the day.
A manager with one of the logistics companies operating within the park, who spoke on condition of anonymity with Blueprint.ng said the explosion happened while the vehicles were stationary.
While stating that the affected buses were newly purchased, the manager “Thank God no one was inside the vehicles. They were parked to board passengers this morning,” he said.
He added that the buses were powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), expressing concerns over their usage.
“These vehicles are using CNG. We are not matured enough to use them,” he said.
The source said operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant agencies were at the scene to determine the cause of the explosion.
“They are carrying out investigations to ascertain what caused the incident,” he added.
