A tanker laden with 45,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit that burst into flames in Ifo, Ogun State, has destroyed about 10 buildings.
The incident occurred at about 7am on Olambe Matogun Road, Ifo.
This was disclosed by the National Emergency Management Agency through a statement signed by its coordinator, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye.
“Though, no life was lost or any injuries sustained, about 10 buildings were consumed in the incident,” Farinloye said.
“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 fire has since been put out,” the NEMA official added.
