A late-night Saturday hearth that rocked the Obasanjo Trailer Park in Ogere alongside the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway axis of Ogun State destroyed one tanker and a number of other makeshift retailers.
Our correspondent, who visited the scene of the fireplace on Sunday, gathered that the fireplace began at about 11pm on Saturday.
The hearth was mentioned to have emanated from one of many retailers earlier than gutting the truck that was below restore on the park.
An eyewitness who recognized merely as Musa informed our correspondent that it was the mixed efforts of occupants of the park that introduced the fireplace below management.
He mentioned, “The hearth began about 11 pm after we had been already sleeping. I simply heard a loud blast and earlier than we realised what was occurring, there was a fireplace outbreak.
“Folks round used buckets to fetch water from the gutter to quench the fireplace as a result of there have been no firefighters close by.”
