Two Vehicles Burn As PMS-laden Tanker Catches Fire In Ogun
The Idiroko Unit Commander of FRSC, Mr Akinwunmi Olaluwoye, explained that the tanker was loaded with PMS and filled to the brim which leaked and caused the fire.
The unit commander said that no life was a loss in the incident but the development disrupted traffic flow in Ajeleti area on Idiroko road.
“The FRSC wants to enjoin all tanker owners to install safety valves on their vehicles so that life could be saved when they spill their contents on the road,” he said.
Olaluwoye also said the FRSC had begun a public enlightenment campaign to educate motorists on the dangers inherent in some unwholesome practices.
He further implored tanker owners to properly maintain their vehicles before putting them on the road to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and property.
