A petrol tanker fell and caught fire at Oghegh Junction on Sapel Road in Edo State. The incident occurred on a bad spot on the road, leading to a major fire outbreak.
The Edo State Fire Service, led by Faith, faced challenges reaching the scene promptly due to gridlock caused by motorists. The incident happened around 7 pm, but officials and firefighting equipment arrived late at the scene, exacerbating the situation.
The area, especially Oghegh Axis, has been described as a death trap due to big potholes hindering vehicular movement.
