Petrol Tanker Fire Destroys Buildings in Agbor, Delta
A petrol tanker reportedly caught fire in Agbor, the headquarters of the Ika South Local Government Area in Delta State, causing extensive damage to several buildings. The incident occurred when the tanker ruptured and spilled its contents after colliding with another vehicle.
The spilled petroleum product flowed through a drainage channel into the Orogodo River, igniting under unclear circumstances. The fire spread quickly along the drainage channel towards the scene of the incident, which is located near the Anglican Church and beside Orogodo Primary School.
As a result, numerous buildings were consumed by the flames, including the well-known Festy Chemist medical store and adjacent structures. The extent of the damage is still being assessed as details of the incident remain limited.
