Three buildings were razed down in the Ajebandele village, Osun State, on Sunday, as a tanker laden with petrol exploded there.

Investigation by Punch Metro revealed that the tank compartment suddenly detached from the vehicle and exploded on the Ife/Ondo Road.

The driver of the truck, it was gathered, ran away with the truck’s head to escape being attacked by the villagers.

A villager, Olatunji Adio, told Punch correspondent that the incident happened around 4.30am, adding that the resultant fire raged for about five hours before firefighters extinguished it.

He said three buildings were lost to the fire.

According to him, beside several sacks of dried cocoa belonging to the villagers, which were destroyed, cash and other valuables were also lost to the inferno.

He explained that many travellers plying the road early in the morning were stranded as half of the road was made impassable for hours because of the raging fire.

When contacted, the Administrative Officer of the Osun State Fire Service, Fatai Aremu, said no live was lost to the incident.

You expected the poor driver to wait..when had the golden opportunity at hand ..one his safety,two the truck head..he would move as fast as the the tire and engine can speed him to any safe area..

Not again.
Hope no life was lost?

Damnnnnn niggarrrs

What is happening?

Is this like a festival of tanker explosion?

Nigeria is indeed a failed State. So our government cannot regulate the movement of this tanker drivers despite the reoccurring incidences of fire outbreak all over the country. Shithole Country.

Hope the next one won't be at bayelsa....I'm just saying ni oooo



May God help us

Should we now suspect the easterners?

Sorry to those affected. ....

Hope no life lost

Ok

Instead of them to do something about all these TankersExplosion their only concern is hate speech

Nigeria is under siege no doubt.

You ..yes..you reading this .. why aren't you making plans to leave this hellhole? Is this the news you want your kids to read everyday? Tanker explosions are no longer strange to Nigerians anymore because it's a daily occurrence.
Is this life you want your kids to become accustomed to?

Why aren't you making good plans to leave this doomed nation? You probably love it here but I demand a concrete reason for why you want your kids to go through the same desensitization to what a good life actually should be like? They don't deserve this and I'm pleading on their behalf.

Today is tanker exploding day in Nigeria...lord have mercy

Govt need to take drastic measure to curtail the havoc fire is causing this day

Bags of coaco burnt, thats money and great loss to the farmer

Kudos to Osun State Fire Service for ensuring no life were lost

.

Normal!

More to happen.

When standards are ignored, accident are bound to happen frequently.

We need to be recolonised in nigeria.

Nawa o, Is it because from nigeria to hell fire is 70naira that's why tankers are exploding anyhow haba or are the exporting fire from hell Buhari close boarder o

the purpose of road worthiness in nigeria is to collect tax for the govt
carrying out checks to see if the vehicle is truly road worthy is non of their biz
hence all these accidents and explosions

It happen in Lokoja, now happening in Osun.

What da hell is happening?


Who knows the next state.


People should be very careful when the are proximate to petro tankers.


Why are onlookers so close to the inferno?

What if it explodes, how many would die?


Whenever you read a news about an inferno caused by a petro tankers and many were burnt/ roasted, just know that those victims were onlookers.


People don't like their lives. They don't even know the power of petrol.

Only the explosion sound can wipe out half of them there, talk more of the poisonous fumes and the spreading of the fire.

ednut1:
We need to be recolonised in nigeria.

Recolonised or sold off?

We should sell the country to another country or investor and share the money amongst ourselves.


If you recolonise, it's same people and same mentality so you won't get different result.

Another one? Okay o

APC and Bubu have finally deviced another means to finish the remaining die-hard Nigerians who have managed to survive this next level miraculously

Spits

One in Lokoja and Another in Osun
Wahala Dey Ooo
