Loaded with Premium Motor Spirit popularly known as petrol, the tanker burst into flames on Tuesday, a situation that forced residents and motorists to scamper for safety.

“Three adult male victims with severe burns have been rescued and transferred to Gbagada General Hospital burns unit while the remains of an adult male were also recovered,” LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, said.
“All hands remain on deck to extinguish the flames. Motorists are urged to take alternative routes where possible.”
