At exactly 10:am on Friday December
21, hell was let loose in Omagwa Community in Ikwerre Local Government Area of
Rivers State when a heavy trailer tanker conveying 33 litres of petroleum
product to owerri crashed as a result of over speeding by the tanker driver
along the Isiokpo-Owerri road.
The tanker immediately burst into
flames, gutting properties worth millions of naira including the NEPA high
tension cables leading to Isiokpo while two cars, a baby jeep and a saloon car
that were closely behind the tanker were burnt beyond recognition as the
occupant managed to escape with their lives.
One of the landlord’s whose house
was affected by the fire, Mr. Joseph Amanwo appealed to Rivers State Government
as his properties and valuables had just disappeared within a second and he
also said they couldn’t get the where about of the tanker drivers since the
truck was burnt beyond recognition.
