Wednesday, January 1, 2025 - A tanker caught fire and razed a section of Okokomaiko Police Station in Lagos State.
The tanker reportedly caught fire while discharging diesel into the
storage tank of a hotel that shares same fence with the police station.
As the fire raged, there was panic as both the staff of the hotel
and policemen attached to the station fled from their offices for fear of being
trapped in the fire.
It was learnt that the fire started from the engine of the truck and
quickly spread to the storage tank of the vehicle.
Witnesses alleged that the fire spread to the police station before any
help could come.
One witness identified simply as Tolupe stated that the truck driver abandoned
the vehicle when the fire escalated and fled.
“Most of the policemen serving in the division fled the scene,” he
added.
