At least eight people have been killed after an explosion at a petrol station in Lagos, Nigeria on Thursday (October 8).

Footage filmed in the Burawa neighbourhood shows locals gathering near the site of the explosion. It also shows a charred vehicle and the damaged petrol station.

The filmer Ayodeji Ojo told Newsflare: "It all started 5:30 am while I was still sleeping and got a call from my security that there was a fire outbreak opposite the house. I jumped up half-naked to save my life, I was the only one left in the compound."

The explosion has also destroyed at least 25 homes, 16 shops and a primary school.
