Details and photos of the Conoil, Abuja fire out-break.
Fire outbreak which I reported earlier at Conoil Petrol Station opposite NNPC Towers Abuja was stimulated from a discharging tanker at the Central Business District of FCT.
A Petroleum tanker containing 45,000 literes of fuel exploded at the filling station this afternoon causing the massive fire.
The incident, which started at about 2:50pm recorded no casualties.
Fire Service and Police were at the scene to control the fire and divert traffic, although it was reported that the intervention of the fire service was not timely enough.
The NNPC office was under lockdown due to the fire outbreak at the filling station opposite the towers. Heavy smoke could be seen from a far.
Report says no one was trapped in surrounding buildings.
The station workers said no life was lost but people sustained minor injuries as a result of the stampede caused while trying to scamper for safety.
