Passengers scoop PMS as petrol tanker collapses in Victoria Island
A petrol tanker has simply tipped over and is presently spilling its flammable contents on the Ozumba Mbadiwe avenue in upscale Victoria Island place of Lagos.
The twist of fate took place right in the front of Quilox–the ritzy nightclub always packed full with upwardly cellular young men and women. Residents and passersby are currently scooping petrol into jars and buckets from the close by gutters, our correspondent reports.
The twist of fate came about at exactly 5:15am on Friday, December 13, 2019 and has led to gridlock on Ozumba and other adjacent routes. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes as relevant government organizations arrive the scene to cordon the area and save you a probable conflagration. Petrol tanker accidents are not unusual in Lagos, Nigeria’s most populous metropolis and business capital. In June of 2018, a similar petrol tanker accident burnt more than a dozen motors and killed 9 at the Otedola bridge in Lagos.
