Adeh said no death was recorded, adding that the fire was under control.
She said, “In response to the fire outbreak at Mainland Oil and Gas filling station in Kubwa, the Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Benneth Igweh, swiftly mobilised police patrol teams from Kubwa division and personnel of PMF 50 alongside operatives of the Federal Fire Service to the scene to possibly rescue victims, extinguish the fire, and protect other assets of the filling station from being engulfed.
“While no fatalities were recorded, preliminary investigation revealed that a tanker discharging fuel actually caught fire, but with the combined effort of the police operatives, fire service personnel, and members of the public, the fire was extinguished even though the tanker got burned completely.
“While the cause of the fire outbreak is yet to be ascertained, the situation is now very much under control, as the fire has been extinguished.”
