A mechanic whose name had yet to be ascertained has tragically lost one of his legs after a gas explosion occurred. The incident happened at the Anyama Mechanic Village in the Mile 2 area of Portharcourt. According to reports, the mechanic was simply rushing to buy something from a shop nearby when he unfortunately walked past a faulty cylinder which suddenly exploded.
The cylinder was reportedly not in use when it exploded, four persons were injured from the explosion but the mechanic suffered the most injury as the explosion cut off one of his legs from the knee downward and also shattered the phones in his pocket.
