Tanker mashes 6 persons in Ogidi market
Six persons, mostly hawkers,
were yesterday killed when a tanker assumed to be carrying petroleum product
rammed into the building materials market in Ogidi, Idemili North of Anambra
State.
It was
gathered that the propeller of the 40-foot tanker laden with petroleum product
pulled out and the vehicle rammed into some commercial buses waiting for passengers
along the ever-busy Onitsha/Enugu Expressway, crushing some vehicles and six
hawkers.
According to
sources, the tanker was coming from Enugu to
discharge its content in Onitsha when its propeller pulled out on getting to
the market.
The driver
of the tanker was said to have fled the scene immediately the incident
occurred.
