The scene at the Nigerian Army Signal barracks extended premises has since been sealed off following the multiple diesel tanker explosion that rocked the Mile 2 area of Lagos State on Tuesday.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has explained that the seal-off will aid necessary measures.
It is alleged that the tanker engulfed in flames flowing a spark from a panel beater welding under a truck.
According to NEMA, when the fire broke out initially, no one gave it any attention until it went out of hand.
