Less than 24 hours after a tanker explosion rocked Ijabe town in Osun State, another fully loaded Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) tanker crashed on Sunday along the Iwo-Ibadan expressway.
The earlier incident in Ijabe had caused significant tension in the Odo-Otin Local Government Area, and Sunday’s crash added to the concerns.
According to eyewitness accounts, the tanker accident occurred when the driver swerved to avoid hitting a commercial motorcycle (okada) and its passenger, who had fallen on the road.
In the process, the driver lost control, and the tanker toppled by the roadside, spilling its contents.
The spill caused panic among residents and road users along the expressway.
The spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Osun State, Kehinde Adeleke, confirmed the incident.
She stated: “There is no fatality, but the tanker spilled its content on the road, necessitating the area to be cordoned off by NSCDC operatives.”
Efforts are ongoing to ensure safety and restore normalcy to the affected area.
