Residents scooping fuel as tanker crashes in Kwara

Date: 2014-10-04

Danger may currently be lurking in Osin community in Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State as residents of the settlement are scrambling to scoop fuel spilled in the area after a fuel tanker crashed on Saturday.

A resident of the village, who made a desperate call to PUNCH Online on Saturday, feared that the worst might happen if concerned authorities failed to respond to their calls urgently.

The resident, a male(name withheld), alleged that four days ago, there was an accident in the community, located along the Ilorin-Jebba Road, saying the State Emergency Management Agency, which promised to come to the scene, failed to show up.

"Today again, this morning, a fuel tanker crashed some minutes ago; its content is currently spilling around and people are scooping fuel in the area. We have called the same management agency but as I'm talking to you now, they(members of the agency) have not shown up, though they promised they would come," says the resident.

"There is still fuel in the tanker that had an accident in this place four days ago, it has not been evacuated. If any place goes up in flame around this area, every body will be in trouble."
