A petrol tanker has exploded in the upper Iweka axis of Onitsha in
Anambra State after falling off its lane, killing a woman and her
child, ChannelsTV reports.

No fewer than 40 buildings, ranging from two- storey to four- storey
buildings were also razed in the explosion.

Over 500 lock-up shops were also gutted by the fire along the Iweka
street leading to Ochanja and Menax market.

The tanker’s head reportedly fell off and went up in flames after
spilling its content within the area.
