Again, a fuel tanker has exploded in Oshigbudu, Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.
This incident is happening barely 3 days after the same community recorded a tanker explosion that claimed the lives of 12 persons.
It was reported that the fresh explosion occurred around 3 am on Tuesday.
A resident of the community identified as Otache Gabriel raised the alarm of the incident on his Facebook page.
He wrote, “Another fire outbreak in my community again. After the first tanker explosion on Sunday, another one today around 3 am this morning; houses are burning.
“God have mercy on us oo. Benue state is turning to another thing. God, two tanker explosions in one community.”
Confirming the incident, the Secretary of Agatu Local Government Area, Oteyi Sunday, said the conductor of the heavy-duty vehicle has been arrested while the driver has disappeared to an unknown destination.
