Akinyinka said the cause of the incident was due to ignorance, not knowing the danger associated with entering a well without properly trained.

Also on Saturday, the agency averted explosion from a fallen trailer tanker loaded with 60,000 litres of automotive gas oil (AGO) along Lagos/Ibadan Expressway, Oremeji, Ibadan.

“We briskly carpeted the spillage with AFFF chemical foam compound to suppress the flammability of the liquid which can trigger fire from naked fire,” Akinyinka said.

He attributed the accident to reckless driving by the truck driver while commending the Agugu Division of the Nigerian Police and Amotekun Corps from lbadan North East local government area for security cover during the operation.

He added that while no casualty was recorded, the tanker was damaged as the fire service was able to save properties worth millions of naira.
