Mobil Petrol Station along Oba Akran in Ikeja was on fire early Wednesday morning.
The Nation reports that the fire started at about 6:05am, when the tanker with 33,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) was trying to negotiate its way into the filling station to offload its content but motorists on queue at the station refused to give it passage for fear of being dislodged.
The motorists were reportedly directing the tanker how to wriggle its way until an iron punctured the tanker and PMS started gushing out.
Several vehicles were caught fire and burnt, while some drivers managed to remove their cars and buses from the site. The injured man was trapped by an electric pole, which fell as a result of the inferno.
He was immediately rushed to the hospital. As at the time of filing this report there has been no information on his current condition.
