Several people have been killed following a devastating fuel tanker explosion in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State.
According to SaharaReporters, the unfortunate incident occurred on Friday morning at the Iyemanja community along the expressway in the Okolowo axis of Ilorin.
A Facebook user, Orioye Chanter Ijobaibile, streamed a live video of the raging fire, describing the harrowing scene.
“People are inside the cars, and it is burning. What is even worrisome is that many other trucks that always carry fuel are passing near the fire. That is risky. They may also catch fire. We are just waiting for security operatives to show up so that they can stop them. People are getting burned inside the fire,” he narrated.
As of the time of this report, emergency responders had yet to arrive, while the fire continued to spread, endangering nearby vehicles and properties.
