Fuel tanker explosion burns shops, car in Ibadan
A tanker, fully loaded with petroleum product, exploded on Friday near Total filling station in Iyagankun area of Ibadan, setting shops and a car on fire.

The tanker exploded and spread fire to some furniture shops, auto shops and some buildings in the area.
Fire fighters were on ground battling to put off the fire while the level of casualties cannot be ascertained yet.
