An explosion was averted on Friday, August 6, at a filling station in Trans Ekulu, Enugu State.
According to a source, the incident happened when a vehicle that was waiting to be dispensed fuel, suddenly caught fire. “Parked next to the car was a fully loaded tanker.

Many were trapped as three fuel tankers burst into flames on Otedola Bridge in the Ojodu-Berger area of Lagos on Thursday evening.
