Fuel tanker fire razes 10 buildings in Ogun

Ten buildings were consumed by fire when a tanker laden with 45, 000 liters of Premium Motor Spirit crashed, spilling its content at Ifo in Ogun.

Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, the Zonal Coordinator of the South West, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said the incident occurred at about 7.00 a.m. on Olambe Matogun Road, Ifo.

He said; “Though, no life was lost or anyone sustained an injury, but about 10 buildings were consumed in the incident.

“The situation was mitigated with most of the content spilling into the canal close to the scene.

“This saved the community from a serious incident that could have affected more people.”
The NEMA official, however, said the fire had been put out.
