A Tanker has just exploded inside a mechanic workshop at Amawbia bypass, Enugu Onitsha Expressway Awka, IgbereTV reports.

Pause!, I see an Oxy-Acetylene gas container lying nearby, shocked

Was the welding guy trying to patch up a loaded tanker, or was he patching one near a loaded tanker?

That might be his body, man!

This is Terrible.

This must be a joke.... A police officer that is not in the media department of the NPF is there as an onlooker, recording the scene on his personal mobile phone.

This country is really cursed.

This incessant fire incidents in Anambra point to one thing....regulation and compliance has been neglected. Commercial buildings and vehicles are not following strict regulatory rules , perhaps there is no regulation in place.
There is incessant fire incidents all over Nigeria,unless you have not been keeping tabs..

Noted...but do we even have fire service?
Pls, the occurrence is now much, FRSC should take proper steps to stop dis.


What steps When the Road Safety we have don't know their duty, all they do is attach themselves to police check points or traffic lights to victimise road users.
No offense

Anambra again?? Who did this to this state since last year? See as that dead body is rostedly lying helpless on the ground.someone was possibly welding the tanker without knowing that there is inflamable liquid remaing inside,or did not open the tanker to allow air ,which lead to the explosion,

Looks like the guy was welding a Tanker with residual petrol..

Is that dead body I'm seeing there? Likely cause of this is, there is still a petrol fume left in the tanker and the welder man ignites his welding too and boom, the rest is history.

Nigeria Goverment should put up a law that before you becomes a welder that welds those petrol or gas tankers, you must have gone through extensive training of how to inspect and weld a tanker, with license being insured. Safety should be the First Priority

Fire service isn't working,and when you find one that seems to be,they're not punctual.

Police come manage go there now,e dey do sightseeing they video with e yeye Tecno abi Itel phone.

Well,they deserve some applause for containing the fire before it could spread.

In as much as the environment has been secured and everyone has been alert. He can take pics or videos till fire fighters come to quench the fire cos there's nothing he can do than that. He's got wife n kids at home too and what has happened as already happened. Man no fit die.

You continued the rubbish you did all through last year...

How do you want to be remembered as NL, a guy/girl that trolls others

Or a guy/girl that mentions, quotes, likes and shares his own posts?

Or probably the person that always create nuisances on NL?

The choice is yours

Maybe when they get tired of blaming "fulani people" they will follow compliance regulations and the state govt will revamp its fire service.
