One Feared Dead, Cars Burnt As Tanker Explodes In Abeokuta, Ogun State by gabolak(m): 9:24am On Jan 19, 2021
One person was feared dead while scores of vehicles got burnt in a tanker explosion that occurred in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The incident occurred around 8:15 am on Tuesday on the Presidential Boulevard Road around Guarantee Trust Bank opposite Lawson Group School, Kuto, Abeokuta.

The explosion, which reportedly involved a 33,000-fuel laden tanker, happened due to a break failure.
Our correspondent, who was at the motor park close to the scene observed that the tanker which was coming from Sagamu-Siun-Oke-Mosan Road climbed the overhead bridge but suddenly lost control while descending from the bridge .

The tanker hit a motorcycle which was in motion and rammed into some commercial vehicles waiting for passengers at the end of the bridge.
The fire which spread to a few offices around the place caused panic as many motorists started making reverse to avoid being caught up in the explosion.


There was anxiety over the fate of some pupils who were in the vehicles around the place and in the school premises opposite the scene of explosion.

So so tanker matter. These days eh, once you see tanker near your vehicle, just comes down first, use leg run especially when you are in traffic

All Nigerian roads are death trap.
All this heavy vehicle are killing machines. Road mishaps would have been minimal, if Nigeria was a functional entity from the onset.

Naija Olosho, why not shut up if you have nothing reasonable to type?

Atleast if you keep shut,
People won't know who you truly are,
Which is better for you in life.
Silence is golden o.....Naija Olosho tongue

Prayer is the key to prevent this kind of tragedy, pray to God before going out, it works, it helps more than expectation. Rip to the death and quick recovered to those who injured.
