By Ifeoluwa Adebayo Abeokuta

A gas tanker explosion in Ita-Oshin in the  Abeokuta-North local government area of Ogun State  has left a trail of devastation, claiming the lives of at least four individuals and engulfing six vehicles in flames.

The  explosion, believed to have been triggered by an accident involving the gas tanker, reportedly  occurred as the vehicle manovered along the road railings, leading to a catastrophic chain of events.

It was gathered that emergency response teams, including personnel from the Federal Road Safety Corps, swiftly mobilised to the scene to evacuate the remains of the victims and contain the inferno.

Among the vehicles consumed by the blaze were taxis, a private car, and a truck, with the impact extending to nearby shops and houses.

While security and safety officials present at the scene are yet to provide a comprehensive statement regarding the incident.

Eyewitnesses, speaking anonymously revealed that some casualties had already been rushed to the hospital by earlier response teams.
