There was panic in Osogbo, Osun State, yesterday when a fuel laden tanker parked right inside a Mobil filling station suddenly caught fire.
Motorists, motorcyclists as well as residents living close to the area reportedly fled the scene, while those plying the route made a detour to avoid being caught in the inferno.
NewsmakersNG could ascertain the cause of the fire, but a resident said it might have been caused by a spark from one of the vehicles waiting to buy fuel in the station.
It took the combined efforts of firefighters and some brave residents to put out the raging fire.

No life was reportedly lost in the incident.
Governor Gboyega Oyetola later visited the scene to assess the damage caused by the fire.
