Eleven vehicles were razed by the fire, which broke out when a truck laden with fuel rolled back while climbing the bridge and hitting another truck in the process. The collision resulted in the huge balls of fire that engulfed the scene.
Omotoso told reporters during the visit of some state cabinet members who visited the scene on Friday afternoon, that there was no truth in the reports making the rounds that some lives were lost in the fire incident, adding that such reports were social media fake news. He urged people to stop posting misleading videos.
