Live in Onitsha as desiel tanker fell at Boromi round-about today in Anambra State.

A major disaster was averted today, when security agents and emergency workers battled to keep desiel scoopers away from a 50,000-litre desiel-laden tanker that fell at Boromi round about Onitsha, Anambra state

A driver caught in close to the arena said the tanker,(yet to know the owner), fell at 1:30p.m., just at Boromi roundabout causing panic among residents of the area and road users.

He added that the content of the tanker spilled on the road, with food sellers hurriedly evacuating their wares around the area.
He said: “To my amazement, hundreds of residents were scooping desiel rushing out of the tanker into buckets and jerry cans.

“There have been no police here to disperse those who had gathered round the fallen tankers with all sorts of containers, some of the residents were seen fighting among themselves and carrying jerry cans of scooped desiel"
