Three others sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
The Hotel Facility Manager, Engr Tunde Osinubi, confirmed the incident.
“A routine maintenance of the Automatic revolving Door at the entrance of the Hotel Reception which involved the use of oxyacetylene gas to weld the door hinges was being carried out.
“The Oxyacetylene gas cylinder suddenly exploded, killing the technician and one other person yet to be identified,” Osinubi said in a statement.
He suspected that “the gas cylinder purchased at the open market may be fake and unable to withstand gas pressure.”
The management of the hotel has sympathized with families and friends of the deceased, warning the general public to be beware of fake gas cylinders in the market.

Without thorough investigation, they just concluded that it was fake gas explosion.

All because of cutting costs and having big gains
And those workers most probably don't have insurance
