Nigeria, Barely 12 days after a tanker exploded at the Ogere end of the Lagos-Ibadan which recorded four casualties and loss of property, a similar incident happened this morning at a market in the Ogun State capital.

A fully loaded Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) tanker upturned at about 4:45 am when it was making its way inbound Rounder area from Oju-Irin.

In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE),* Babatunde Akinbiyi, said the tanker exploded when officials of TRACE, Fire Service and other security agencies were finding a way to trainload the content of the tanker into another.

He explained that the fire outbreak was a result of residents scooping petroleum content from the fallen tanker, despite warnings from security operatives at the scene.

“The earlier reported tanker laden with fuel was engulfed in fire due to the uncooperative attitude of people around the axis through scooping of fuel and other unwholesome act which sparked off the fire.

“The general public is advised to vacate the vicinity, while TRACE, police, FRSC, Fire Service and other first responders resolve the latest emergency,”.

It could not be immediately confirmed how many got killen and injured.

Isn't this the eleventy-eth video that's come from Nigeria recently? Next it's gonna turn out that someone was trying to smuggle several nuclear bombs over there and accidentally set them off, and that there is no longer a country called Nigeria on the map, just a smouldering black hole

I'm a-thinking they should let that one burn itself out. Alas, desperate times call for "unwholesome acts".

Further proof that PMS kills!

-abdominal pain
-mood swings
-fiery death when bad mood causes you to overturn the petrol tanker you are driving

~ All around the world this same scenario has become commonplace, as desperate people resort to desperate measures to survive.
~ The tanker gets deliberately sabotaged, so that desperate people can get some fuel for free.
~ As is most common also, the technique backfires when some ignorant innocent nonsense idiot wants to make sure it is fuel, so they light it to make sure it ignites. With fumes aiding in the final distinguishing factor.
