It was a black Friday at Omenta Okpe in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State following death of at least eight people in a tanker explosion.

The incident was reported to have occurred about 10 am on Friday leaving buildings including residential buildings, makeshift caravans, vehicles and heavy-duty trucks destroyed.

Right at the scene of the unfortunate incident were a three-month-old child and her mother who died while trying to rescue her child.

Another victim of the inferno was a secondary boy who just returned from school only to meet his untimely end.

According to eyewitnesses, the tanker coming from Effurun lost control while trying to overtake another truck a few metres away from the boundary bridge between Uvwie and Okpe Local Government Area.

The victims gutted by the inferno were burnt beyond recognition, leaving several others injured and hospitalized.

At the time of this report, the Director-General, Warri, Uvwie and Environs Development Agency, WUEDA, Prince Enjinyere was at the scene to assess the level of damage caused by the explosion and equally mobilize support to evacuate the bucket of the fuel-laden truck off the road to avoid further damage.

Local search parties are still looking for possible survivors at the time of filing this report.
