The accident scene
A tanker laden with premium motor spirit (fuel) some minutes ago lost control and rolled over around the popular Upper-Iweka, Onitsha, consequently emitting liquid.
The general public is by this notice strongly advised to vacate the scene of the incident. Scooping the "fuel" gushing out of the tanker is very dangerous. It's highly inflammable! It could lead to loss of lives.
The Honourable Commissioner for Transport, Sir Uchenna Okafor has detailed the officers of ATMA, Fire Service and communicated the FRSC and other relevant agencies concerning the incident. They have mobilised to the scene.
There's no cause for alarm as the situation is under control. The Nigerian Police and NSCDC have been detailed to arrest any person that nears the scene of the incident.
