Tragedy In Ekiti: Fuel Tanker Explodes Leaving 6 Dead.



A fuel tanker carrying 33,000 litres of petrol exploded in Aramoko Ekiti, Ekiti West Local Government area, Ekiti State on Tuesday evening leaving six people dead and destroying homes and property, according to witnesses.
A source said the driver of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) tanker lost control of his vehicle after the breaks failed on a sloppy section of the road which links to Ibadan-Ilesa way.

Another witness told Saharareporters, "The next thing we heard after the break failure was a big sound and the tanker had already pulled out from the main body. A heavy thick black spot rented the air, and everywhere was consumed of fire."
