| An explosion and fire hit a barge at Nigeria's main seaport in Lagos, shaking buildings in the area and wounding at least four people, officials said. The explosion occurred on Wednesday on a barge seeking to discharge fuel into a tank on a jetty at the port, leading to a fire that sent a huge plume of smoke into the air but which was put out a couple hours after it began. | There was a ship that was trying to discharge into an oil tank owned by [Nigerian firm] MRS and there was a fire, but I don't yet have any details as to what led to the fire," said Ibrahim Farinloye of the National Emergency Management Agency. continued |
