Aside from those who were burnt beyond recognition, about six others who sustained serious injuries are currently receiving medical attention in various hospitals.
Riding a Gulf car, Taiwo told DAILY POST how the tanker descended from the new Kuto flyover and skidded to the other lane, before it burst into flames. “Suddenly, it moved towards our lane. Maybe he thought that would reduce the speed of the vehicle. But it veered off its lane to the other side. At this stage, the driver had lost total control of the truck.
“When the tanker exploded, we bent down to avoid the first heavy wave of the explosion. After that, we forced the car doors open and we ran out to safety,” Taiwo recounted, praising God.“It was God that saved us, we would have died. We thank God because he gave us the opportunity to live again. If not, I would have died before my coming 40th birthday.
