He stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the tanker driver lost control due to brake failure, causing the tanker to spill its contents and catch fire in the process.

Akinyinka added that the timely intervention of the Oyo State Fire Service and other private fire services helped extinguish the fire before it escalated into a full-blown disaster in the residential area.

The Fire Service chief noted that the driver and the motor boy were not as fortunate, as they were burnt to de@th, with their remains handed over to officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) at the scene.

He stated that the fire had been controlled and that more details about the incident would be provided later.
