“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.
