Three CNG-powered luxury buses were completely destroyed in an explosion at Mando Motor Park in Kaduna. The incident occurred around 3:00 a.m. at the park, a major hub for interstate road transport. The vehicles belonged to Silver Transport Company and were parked and ready for scheduled trips when the blast happened. No casualties were reported, but the force of the explosion caused significant damage to the buses and nearby structures. A manager of Silver Transport Company confirmed the loss of the three buses and stated that the cause was not yet known. Emergency services responded to the scene, and investigations are ongoing to determine the source of the blast. The park has not been closed, and operations resumed later the same morning.
A manager of Silver Transport Company lost three CNG buses in a pre-dawn explosion with no clear cause yet identified. When buses running on gas go up in flames without warning, it raises concerns about safety standards in public transport. This incident suggests that oversight in CNG vehicle handling and storage may be slipping through the cracks. For commuters who rely on these buses daily, the risk is no longer theoretical.
