Seven people were yesterday killed at Ogolonto bus stop near Ikorodu, Lagos, when a fuel laden tanker lost control and careened into container shop.

The victims were reportedly removed from the scene of the unfortunate incident around 7:10pm according to the Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe.

Fadipe said the truck, which belongs to Stallionaire Nigeria Limited, was marked KTU 568 XD.

“We got a crane to lift the diesel-laden truck to ensure it does not result in fire that could precipitate more disaster. We have gone round to advise residents around the area to stop cooking because the result will be disastrous,” he said.
