A fire broke out at the Obasanjo Trailer Park in Ogere, located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun state. The blaze destroyed a tanker and several makeshift shops.
The incident occurred on Saturday, June 29, and is believed to have started in one of the shops before spreading to a truck that was being repaired at the park.
An eyewitness recounted the event, saying, “The fire started around 11 pm when we were already asleep. I heard a loud explosion, and before we knew it, there was a fire outbreak.” He added that people in the area attempted to extinguish the flames by using buckets to fetch water from the gutter, as no firefighters were available nearby.
