Tunji Wusu –

On Sunday, July 23, a fuel-laden tanker reportedly exploded at Ore, in the Odigbo council area of Ondo state, killing a pregnant mother, three children, and 18 people.

It was learned that the tanker driver crashed after losing control of the vehicle. The victims rushed the spot as soon as it crashed to gather its contents.

According to Vanguard, someone scooping fuel that had spilled from the tank’s tank phone caused the fire to start.

According to eyewitness accounts, when the truck fell and spilled its contents on the road, people were inside the church.

The source, who gave his name as Cyriacus, claimed that despite the pastor’s warnings in the church, numerous people raced to grab fuel from the tanker.

Over 15 bodies have been found, including three children who died. A woman who sought to purchase petrol while pregnant also declined. She still has the money.
