RCCG: Explosion not inside Redemption Camp

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has debunked the reports that an explosion rocked the Redemption Camp along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Monday.

The church said the explosion occurred at a Gas station close to the Redemption Camp.

The RCCG made this known via a statement issued on Monday by the Public Relations unit of the church.

The statement read: “The leadership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God wishes to empathise with the people involved in the unfortunate gas explosion that occurred in the early hours of Monday, August 29, 2022.

“This incident which has been brought under control by the combined efforts of the RCCG Fire Service and Lagos Fire Service occurred inside Axella Gas depot on the Sagamu-bound traffic in between the Car Park C gate and the main gate of the Redemption City.

“Against the news making the round, the incident was completely outside of the Redemption City and our fire service team only responded as part of our community service support to our neighbours within the environ.

“We thank God the incident has been put under control and will like to inform all residents and visitors to the Redemption City that there is not scare of any sort and everyone can go about their lawful and godly activities,” the church stated.
