At least two vehicles were on Friday night razed as fire gutted a fuel tanker at Anthony inward Gbagada, Lagos State.
The incident occurred at about 11 pm.
The Director-General of the Lagos State Emergency Agency, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident.
He said, “The Agency responded to distress calls and upon arrival at the scene of incident, it was discovered that a tanker with unknown registration number conveying PMS lost control while in motion and subsequently fell sideways.
