Deadly fires arising from fallen petrol tankers have left tears and sorrow across Jigawa and Ogun States.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While none died in the Ogun incident\u00a0 over 90 persons were feared dead in the Jigawa disaster while scooping petrol from a fallen tanker at Majiya village of Taura Local Government Area of the state, leaving 50 others injured.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The fallen petrol tanker suddenly burst into flames while the victims were still\u00a0 scooping fuel thereby trapping them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0DSP Lawal Adams, the spokesperson of the state police Command, confirmed the incident.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cToday, a petrol tanker from Port Harcourt going to Nguru in Yobe State reached Majiya village of Taura local government area at around 12:30am when the driver lost control at Majiya and fell down,” he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe content in the tanker flooded gutters and drainages in the village. The villagers started fetching the fuel where the petrol going in to flame.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAs a result, 95 people confirmed dead and 50 have been hospitalised receiving treatment.\u201d<\/div>\n

In a similar development in Ogun State, an early morning fire outbreak ignited by a fallen petrol-laden burnt many vehicles in the Ibafo area of the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the driver of the tanker lost control, which led to the tanker\u2019s fall, spilling it’s contents on the road and setting off an explosion.<\/p>\n

The spokesman of the Ogun state-owned Traffic Compliance and Enforcement, TRACE, Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident, adding that there were no fatalities.<\/p>\n

However, the inflammable liquid content of the fallen tanker ignited a fire, which devoured several vehicles parked at a filling station before men of\u00a0the Ogun State Fire Service brought it under control.<\/p>\n

Several individuals also sustained varying degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
