An explosion caused by fuel tanker at Rano Filling Station in
Asokoro Area of Abuja on Friday night caused panic as residents thought
it was another bomb explosion.
The explosion which occurred around 8.15pm when the tanker was
discharging its content and caught fire as a result of an electric
spark led to a fire that later engulfed the tanker and a bus that was
parked near the station.
Military personnel were immediately drafted to the scene and condoned
off the station while firefighters battled to put off the fire.
However, the firefighters and their equipment could not contain the
blazing tanker until the tanker and the bus were completely burnt down.
