Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan


A yet to be identified woman was burnt to death in Ibadan when a diesel tanker suddenly detached from the chassis of a truck after it failed to climb a hill.

The diesel- laden tanker crushed the car driven by the deceased. Eyewitnesses said the impact of the crash ignited a huge fire which burned the sole occupant of the car beyond recognition.

The fire destroyed properties worth millions of naira.

“The articulated vehicle, which was filled with diesel, was coming from Eleiyele area and travelling towards Ologuneru hill.
When the truck had difficulty dragging the tanker along the hill , the tanker detached from the truck and crushed the car driven by the dead woman.

“ It also poured its content on the road and the fire was ignited , burning the woman, who was trapped in the car and other vehicles , ” said a witness who identified himself as Yinka.

Yinka said more than five houses were destroyed in the inferno adding that diesel flowed towards the Eleyele river which is about 300 meters away from the scene of the accident.

One of the destroyed properties was a church called Save and Serve Ministry , which was lately rebuilt after a section of it was affected by construction work going on on the Ologuneru road.

Firefighters from the Oyo State Fire Service rushed to the scene of the accident and battled hard to put out the fire.

Also present at the scene were Special Rescue Squad of the state police command and men of the Federal Road Safety Corps , who ensured that order was maintained.

The combined efforts of the Police , FRSC and fire service was needed to remove the burnt body of the deceased from her mangled car.

O.D.E Girl.

Oh no Tragic incident happens daily now. May God help us all and R.I.P to the dead. I feel pity for those that lose their properties in the situation.


In other word,those houses got burnt were somehow the architect of their own fortune. I have the opportunity to ply this road daily. The house whose the roof got burnt have issues with the road construction agent (Basically,they are Chinese) . Series of complaints have been charged to the owner of the house to either remove part of the erected fence due to the distance measured to cover a standard road measurement, yet he remain deaf hear because he claimed the C of O he had was genuine and no Government official can demolish or remove any portion of his house so far the C of O remained genuine . The case is already in court now

he was planning to remove it tho. the man is not always around. that's why the fence hasn't been removed.

Exactly. Her car was too close.

Sad news. Tanker and Truck drivers would reduce Nigeria's population by half if care is not taken.
