Early this morning, as about 8 am, a filling station along Nnewi-Nnobi road caught fire as passersby and shop owners ran for their lives.

According to eyewitness reports, the mart in the filling station started the fire almost the same time a tanker was discharging diesel in the filling station's underground tank, that incident forced the tanker driver to reverse immediately, causing it to spill on the floor. The spilt content ran through the drainage along Nnewi-Nnobi road that it started another fire close to Dr Alutu Schools(As at the time of this report, firefighters and good Samaritans are trying to put it off, so it doesn't escalate).

As the fire spread from the drainage, it affected shops(Not totally burnt, but their wares outside and billboard were affected.)

There were lots of movement and chaos as people living around the fire accident and shops owners around were said to have fled for their lives as the fire escalated.
