Petrol Tanker Catches Fire In Front Of Ogun Governor’s Office
A truck loaded with about 50,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) has caught fire in front of Ogun State Governor’s Office, situated at Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Saturday.
The tanker was coming from Forte Oil, Ijora and was enroute Mobil, Adatan, in Abeokuta metropolis.
The driver, Nurudeen Yusuf, told newsmen that he, alongside his two motor boys discovered a spark from the engine, which resulted in the fire outbreak.
As the truck went up in flames, firefighters raced to the scene to put out the fire, thereby averting what could have been a disaster, it was learnt.
In his words, the leader of the Federal Fire Service at the scene, DSF Sodiq Atanda, said it took the timely intervention of his men to put out the fire before it got to the body of the truck which could have had more damaging impact.
“If not for the proximity of our station and the timely intervention of our men, this situation would have been worse,” he said, wondering why the truck did not have a fire extinguisher.
