PHOTOS: Petrol Station in Lekki On Fire

The ASCON gas station on Admiralty way Lekki phase 1 is currently on fire.  Commuters abandoned their vehicles as they flee for their lives while the raging inferno spreads close to the roundabout and the bridge.

It is not yet known what could have caused the fire and fire fighters are yet to arrive the scene.
