No fewer than three people were burnt and property worth millions of naira destroyed during the week in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, after a fuel laden tanker fell and caught fire. The incident threw the ancient city into mourning and serious panic. YINKA ADENIRAN, writes.
The two sides of the Onipepeye Road to and from Agodi Gate had the residents raising the alarm and warning drivers not to try driving on the fuel-flooded road at the time. “Some other cars who were also trying to beat it trying to access the bridge also fell victim. The car at the time was been occupied by a man, a woman and a child.
In his own account, Abiola Omowale, a mechanic whose workshop was also nearby the scene, said he suspected that the victims were new on the route and couldn’t have imagined what they saw. “The trailer had fallen for about an hour with the content spilling. We traced where it was flowing to, only to see that it was going underground. But unknown to us, the underground led to another area.
“The car that ignited the fire was proving very stubborn when they stopped him from going on the affected road but suddenly we just saw fire from his exhaust. The only thing we lost were two big rugs spread on the ground after we had washed them and left them to dry here. Our pumping machine also got spoilt.
