The petrol tanker lost control at Amawbia roundabout and went up in flames.

Some heroic efforts by four young men prevented the death of three children as their apartment went up in flames.

Customers were reported to have scampered for safety in bids to escape the flames which started from one of the branch’s offices.

The fire started from Samsung office’s service center at about 12:15 p.m., eyewitness said.

Tragedy averted, thankfully.

The accident happened 11 days after the deadly Nnewi gas plant explosions.

The fire started 3:00 a.m on Monday.

Most of the occupants of the building were not even home when the sad thing occurred.

Ojuelegba residents awoke to a loud tanker explosion…then the flames destroyed buildings, vehicles…

“There were no official fire fighters in sight so the young men took things personal.”
