Description

It was gathered that a tanker had brought Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to a petrol station located on New Umuahia Road, Ogbor Hill, Aba.
As the tanker was discharging its content, it suddenly caught fire which razed the petrol station.

The incident forced many residents and shop owners around the area to scamper for safety.

Sources said as the fire raged, a female petrol pump attendant went into their office to bring out the money realised from the day’s sales. As she was said to have made her way out with the cash, the hoodlums reportedly bounced on her, collected the money and shared it among themselves.
