Tanker fire guts Lagos police station (video)

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.  Watch videos below. Fire outbreak Currently happening beside Okokomaiko Police Station, Lagos State. pic.twitter.com/WuMSFk2GRO Oyindamola (@dammiedammie35) December 31, 2024   There is a fire outbreak beside Okokomaiko Police Station. Men of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service are fully on ground. pic.twitter.com/Rj8hEvxCun MAKER (@maker_ugoo) December 31, 2024  The post Tanker fire guts Lagos police station (video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
