Road users
and passersby who witnessed the burning of a commercial vehicle
(Korope) in
front of National Open University of Nigeria centre in Osogbo yesterday broke
down in tears resorted after their efforts to quench the inferno that engulfed
the vehicle were fruitless.
Amiloaded
correspondent gathered that the fire was as a result of "overloading of
local sponge which has rested on the silencer of the vehicle.
The heat
that accumulated from the exhaust later got fire and led to an uncontrollable
outbreak"
Efforts were
made by several individuals to quench the outbreak but the dryness of the load
proved their efforts fruitless and the whole vehicle burn down completely.
It took the
service of the Osun Fire Fighters before the situation was brought under control,
albeit the motor has burnt to ashes.
The driver
of the vehicle could not be consoled as he sobbed saying that he was not the
owner of the burnt vehicle.
The
situation of the passenger whose goods burnt completely was thesame.
But no life
was lost to the sudden fire outbreak that caught the attention of crowd.
