A tanker laden with fuel on Saturday, exploded and destroyed at least 10 houses at the Ifo area of Ogun State.
Ibrahim Farinloye, Zonal Coordinator, South West, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said in a statement on Saturday that the incident occured at about 7.00 a.m. on Olambe Matogun Road, Ifo.
“Though, no life was lost or anyone sustained injury, but about 10 buildings were consumed in the incident,” he said.
“The situation was mitigated with most of the content spilling into the canal close to the scene.
“This saved the community from serious incident that could have affected more people.”
The NEMA official, however, said the fire had been put out.
