Another tanker laden with 33,000 litres of petrol
fell in the Iju area of Lagos State on Thursday,
spilling some of its contents on the road.
The incident came barely 24 hours after a petrol
tanker crashed into passenger buses in the Kirikiri
area of the state, killing at least 15 people.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the truck, belonging to
Conoil, with number plate, XB467AKN, also hit an
electric pole along Ajuwon Road. It was learnt that

Fire fighters from Agege Fire Station, as well as
technical staff of Power Holding Company of
Nigeria and policemen prevented vehicles from
plying the road while the incident lasted. Around

transferred into another tanker.

Fadipe, told our correspondent that the tanker
fell around 2.21am.

laden with 33,000 litres of petrol fell close to the
