Petrol Tanker On Fire On Lagos-Benin Expressway, Roadside Shops Destroyed

 

 

A petrol tanker suddenly burst into flames while in transit along the Lagos-Benin expressway.

 

Luckily, the petrol tanker was not conveying a significant amount of fuel.

 

The incident, which occurred last Saturday evening at the Ofosu axis of the expressway, left several road-side shops completely burnt down. It took the spirited intervention of people around the scene of the incident to minimize the spread of the inferno.

 

According to an eye-witness account, no life was lost.
