Barely one week after the Upper Iweka Onitsha tanker disaster, another accident has been averted in the area through the timely intervention of the Officers and Men of the Fire Service and Security Agencies.

The incident involved a forty thousand capacity tanker with registration number KA l255 AA coming down from Oghora Delta State when a heavy duty vehicle veered off the road hitting the tanker which led to fuel spillage.

The area had been cordoned off with security personnel controlling both human and vehicular movement while Officers and Men of the fire service were on hand to ensure that the incident did not result to fire outbreak.

Narrating his ordeal the tanker driver Mr liiasu Ago attributed the incident to break failure.
