Breaking: Tanker explosion claims 10 lives in Ogun

No fewer than 10 persons were on Thursday burnt to death when a tanker exploded along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The incident as gathered, occurred at about 2:13 am around Conoil, before Sagamu interchange, Ogun State.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) spokesperson in the state, Florence Okpe, said: “A total of 10 persons were involved. They were all burnt beyond recognition.”
According to Okpe, five vehicles were gutted by the inferno, a Mack truck registered as AKL198ZT; an Iveco truck with no registration number; a Mazda bus marked FFE361XB; an unregistered Howo truck, and the Mack tanker.
Okpe blamed the explosion on speeding, which she said led to a loss of control on the part of the Iveco truck.
