A fire has destroyed the NNPC mega filling station in Jigawa State’s Dutse local government.
SC. Adamu Shehu, spokesman for the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, confirmed the incident.
According to him, the incident occurred on Sunday evening when a Golf Volkswagen saloon with the registration BL 320 RSH caught fire while being refueled at the Station.
He stated that the vehicle had been completely burned, and that the pump attendant, Abdulmumini Haladu aka Dungun, had been injured and was being treated in a hospital.
Adamu said the fire completely destroyed some parts of the feeling station.
He said It took the combined effort of Security personnel, men of the State, Federal Fire and Dutse International Airport Fire Service to put off the raging inferno.
He said other vehicles waiting at the queue to be refueled had to be evacuated to avoid further escalation.
