“The accident involved three tankers and one truck of which two of the tankers were carrying petrol, another carrying gas, and the other an articulated truck.”

Ogungbemide, who promised to investigate the cause of the explosion, said so far, observations revealed that one of the tankers lost control and rammed into others, which resulted in the explosion.

“It was a loss of control. One of the tankers that rammed into other vehicles either had brake failure or got distracted.

”An investigation is still on, and we can’t just be accurate now,” he added.
