There was heightened tension in Kuto area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, Tuesday, morning when a tanker caught fire and exploded between the Guarantee Trust Bank, GTB and the Alaba Lawson Group of Schools, IBB Boulevard area of the state capital.
As of the time of filing this report, Elendu Reports could not immediately verify the immediate cause of the fire incident, which many people say, have caught other vehicles.
The raging fire incident was closing in on the banking premises, throwing most of the staff and customers of the bank into a panic.
Many customers who were already at the bank and had their vehicles parked by the roadside had to quickly find ways of getting out of the area.
An eye witness identified as Adeoluwa said he had to manage to save his car and family members who were in the car.
Many other cars might have been caught by the explosion as a Lexus SUV could be seen badly damaged from afar.
