TWO PETROL TANKERS EXPLODE AT ADAMAWA FILLING STATION
Fire has gutted two petrol-laden tankers at an MRS filling station along the Numan Road, opposite the Jezco filling station near the Yola International Airport.
The road leading into Yola, the state capital, was blocked as curious residents of the area rushed out to catch a glimpse of the inferno, ignoring the inherent danger.
Two fuel tankers have been consumed by the fire as of press time but men of the fire service have arrived at the scene.
The emergency responders have begun efforts to contain the fire but it seemed they have run out of water.
Security personnel have also arrived at the scene to secure the area.
Tanker explosions occurred in Nigeria at a time when petrol has become a precious commodity in Africa’s most populous country, which is suffering its worst economic crisis in a generation.
In January 2025, at least 11 persons were killed when a petrol-laden tanker exploded along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
The tanker was said to have suffered brake failure, tumbled, and had its content spilled, erupting in an explosion.
