A tanker accident at Fadeyi, Lagos State claimed the life on one Sanusi Moruff, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) revealed on Monday.

Disclosing the incident via its Twitter account, LASEMA said the victim, aged 28 years old, had been trapped in a collision involving one empty gas tanker and gas tanker.

The agency said its operatives had, alongside other emergency responders, successfully extricated the victim before sending the corpse to his family.

It said: “Upon the arrival of the Cobra Squad at the scene of the accident that involved an empty tanker, Quantum Oil with registration number KTU-344XY and a loaded gas tanker with registration number JJJ-258XW, it was discovered that an adult male was trapped today, Sunday, 26th October, 2020, at Fadeyi Bus-stop.

“Unfortunately, the trapped victim, Sanusi Moruff aged 28yrs lost his life. With the combined efforts of the Eagle Squad, LASAMBUS, LNSC, NSCDC and Lagos State Fire Service, he was extricated and bagged before handing over to his family members who were at the scene of the incident.

“However, the Agency’s heavy duty equipment Super Metro recovered the empty tanker while the loaded gas tanker was recovered off the road with the aid of the Agency’s heavy duty equipment, Crane and placed on a layby while the entire scene was blanketed by the men of Lagos State Fire Service.
