This early morning around 3am a Petrol tanker engulfed in huge flame at Tolls gate/Ilo Awela Junction.
Report received from TRACE operatives on ground told our correspondence that a PMS tanker rolled back from the hill on motion which resulted into the inferno.
kudos to the combination of Ogun state fire service and Lagos State Fire service for quick response taken to quench the fire explosion with the support from Lagos State Environmental Management Authority (LASEMA) before it could lead to huge loss of lives and properties close to the main road.
Meanwhile TRACE officials in Ota and all other security and safety agencies were on ground as at the time of this report and still on standby monitoring the axis till day break for the cooling of the burnt vehicles as well as to remove all the carcass at the scene of the incident.
Numbers of lives and properties damaged could not be ascertained as the time of this report.
More details later...
