A fuel tanker went up in flames while discharging petrol in kogi state. Motorists and other road users diverted to one lane of the road as frantic efforts were made to bring the situation under control. It took the concerted intervention of the state Fire Service and some good samaritans to put out the fire. Although no life was lost, the incident caused serious gridlock on the ever-busy road, particularly around Logongoma Market, Phase 1.
