A man has lost his life in a painful manner after he was burnt beyond recognition when his fuel tanker caught fire.
A tanker driver lost his life as he was burnt to death in a fire incident that occurred last night, along Ugwuonyema, just after 9th Mile in Enugu State.
However, the man’s ‘motor boy’ escaped the raging fire.
According to reports, the dead man is said to be a member of the Ilo family, a family who own a popular Okpa joint in Enugu.

“Black Thursday night!
Happened this evening at Ugwuonyeama. The owner of the tanker lives opposite my street. The fire finished him, the fuel and the tanker!
Such a sad end of today for his family.
RIP!”
