In a statement released on Tuesday, Akinwande assured that no lives were lost in the accident. He explained that the fire service promptly responded to the scene, using necessary equipment to prevent an explosion and contain the situation.
He said, “Upon arrival, it was a Mack trailer tanker, registration no T25163LA, loaded with twenty-six (26) tons of LPG, that swerved and fell on an open road. Our officers quickly engaged necessary equipment to calm the situation and prevent the tanker from exploding.”
Akinwande added that normal traffic flow had been restored by Tuesday, emphasizing that the tanker was saved without any casualties recorded.
