No fewer than ten buildings were razed on Saturday after a tanker laden with 45,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit, well known as petrol, exploded in Olambe-Matogun Road in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The explosion was said to have occurred after the tanker driver conveying the petrol to a filling station in the area lost control of the vehicle due to the bad road.
The incident was confirmed by the South West Zonal Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye.

Farinloye, who disclosed that the incident occurred at about 7.00 a.m., said: “Though no life was lost or anyone sustained injury, but about 10 buildings were consumed in the incident.
“The situation was mitigated with most of the content spilling into the canal close to the scene.
“This saved the community from serious incident that could have affected more people.”
The NEMA official, however, said the fire had been put out.
