At least four persons  were killed on Thursday when a cooking gas plant in Nnewi, Anambra state, in  southeastern Nigeria exploded on Thursday, a Red Cross spokesman said.

“Four people died and four people were injured,” said Red Cross spokesman Peter Kachi.

“The gas plant was completely destroyed and several houses around the scene damaged.”

The gas plant is owned by the  Chicason Group .
