terrible.
No fewer than sixty people were burnt beyond recognition on saturday's evening in Ibadan when a fuel tanker fell at the popular Molete Under-bridge, splashing its highly inflammable content on all objects in sight with an accompanying inferno. The accident that occurred around 9 pm left scores dead and many people injured with varied degrees of injury.
When the Street Journal visited the scene of the
accident, there was commotion as many people were still trying to find their wards and relatives that just passed though the area. Eye witness accounts have it that the fuel tanker that was coming from Challenge end of Molete had a break failure and the driver subsequently lost its
control before it rammed into a pole under the bridge, resulting in the fire disaster.
It was gathered at the scene of the accident that
about dozens of Okada riders and some commuters were caught up in the ensued fire disaster.
Traders by the roadsides particularly, the bread sellers were roasted like bush meat. All the adjoining streets had a fair share of the disaster as casualties figures are expected to rise as many
people were caught unawares in their shops. A combined team of security operatives and
the state emergency agencies were there to ensure that the number of casualties was drastically brought under control.
God save us!
