    A fire outbreak involving a petrol tanker razed a fuel station in Itam, near the Uyo metropolis of Akwa Ibom State, in the early hours of Saturday.

    ASP Timfon John, the Public Relations Officer, Akwa Ibom State Police Command, who confirmed the incident in a statement, said there was no casualty and that an investigation to unravel the cause of the incident has commenced.

    “We received information about a fire outbreak in Itam, and officers were immediately dispatched. There was no casualty, and the investigation is still ongoing.” ASP John said

    It was gathered that the fuel station caught fire when a truckload of Premium Motor Spirit reportedly supplying fuel to the station went up in flames.

    A thick smoke from the inferno quickly drew a large audience who stood helplessly by while fire service workers struggled to extinguish the inferno.

    Motorists who spoke with journalists expressed concern over the incident, hoping that it would not result in the loss of life.

    ‘What we are afraid of is it resulting in a loss of life; the property and resources lost might be regained, but we don’t want any human life to be affected,” one motorist said.
