Yesterday 13th of July at about 3pm, a Dangote truck conveying cement ran into a tanker carrying kerosene along Ediba road, Ugep Yakurr LGA causing serious leakage of the flammable liquid on the road.
In the cause of the incident, the tanker driver came down from the vehicle and stopped the truck driver to complain about the damage the truck driver had caused the tanker. While they argue, the conductor of the truck driver got into a scuffle with the tanker driver and pushed him unto the path of the truck which was still moving.

In the cause of the incident, the tanker driver came down from the vehicle and stopped the truck driver to complain about the damage the truck driver had caused the tanker. While they argue, the conductor of the truck driver got into a scuffle with the tanker driver and pushed him unto the path of the truck which was still moving.
The truck crushed the tanker driver’s two legs leaving him to scream loudly for help. He was rushed to the hospital in Ugep where he finally gave up the ghost.
The truck driver who escaped was later caught in Abomeghe, Ebonyi state.
The result of the incident paved way for the youth, men, women and even children who climbed the tanker and scoop kerosene into their gallons and basins.
Youths were seen selling the kerosene for N100 and N150 per litre
