In the video, Orioye narrated the horrifying scene, saying, “People are inside the cars, and it is burning. What is even worrisome is that many other trucks that always carry fuel are passing near the fire. That is risky. They may also catch fire. We are just waiting for security operatives to show up so that they can stop them. People are getting burned inside the fire.” As of the time of filing this report, emergency responders had yet to arrive at the scene, while the fire continued to spread, posing a threat to other vehicles and properties in the area. https://saharareporters.com/2025/02/28/breaking-scores-passengers-feared-dead-fuel-tanker-explodes-kwara
