Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A tanker conveying forty five thousand litres of Premium Motor Spirit also known as petroleum has fallen in Oyo State.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at Isale General in Roundabout Area in Ogbomoso, Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The incident, according to sources close to the scene, happened when the tanker somersaulted on an open road and started discharging its contents.<\/p>\n

No life was lost in the incident.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of Oyo State Fire Service, Maroof Akinwande confirmed the incident in a statement and advised drivers to always drive with care.<\/p>\n

He also enjoined them to observe all safety rules on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire personnel led by CFM Oladejo Kolawole swiftly responded and deployed to the scene of the fire incident. Upon arrival, it was a trailer tanker loaded with 45, 000 liters capacity of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) somersaulted on an open road.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur men quickly engaged all necessary equipment by blanketing the area with foam chemical compound to neutralize the flammability of the content and prevent it from catching fire from surrounding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI therefore urge drivers to always drive with care and observe road safety tips\u201d.<\/p>\n
