Fuel tanker fire razes 10 buildings in Ogun
At least 10 buildings were consumed by fire when a tanker laden with 45,000 litres of petrol crashed, spilling its content at Ifo in Ogun.
A statement issued on Saturday in Lagos by Ibrahim Farinloye, the zonal coordinator, South-West, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said the incident occurred at about 7:00 a.m. on Olambe Matogun Road, Ifo.
“Though, no life was lost, or anyone sustained an injury, about 10 buildings were consumed in the incident.
“The situation was mitigated with most of the content spilling into the canal close to the scene.
“This saved the community from a serious incident that could have affected more people,” Mr Farinloye said.
The NEMA official, however, said the fire had been put out.
