Trucks burn in fire outbreak
A truck conveying
petrol from the Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) burst
into flames when it fell off an overhead bridge in Sabo Tasha, Kaduna
on Tuesday, burning four other lorries at a nearby park.
While the truck
driver and occupants of the vehicle escaped unhurt, some other persons
at the scene of the accident sustained injuries, witnesses at the
accident told the News Agency of Nigeria.
Hundreds of
sympathisers thronged the scene and obstructed the movement of vehicles
and other road users going to Kaduna South from Kaduna North.
The Kaduna State Director of Fire Service, Mu’azu Danlandi, advised
truck drivers not to ignore haulage and off-loading procedures while
discharging petroleum products. He expressed regret that the state had
lost property worth some millions of naira to fires caused by neglect.
