A devastating explosion occurred at an MRS filling station near Yola International Airport in Adamawa State, leaving several people feared dead.

Eyewitnesses reported that the blast happened during the discharge of fuel from a tanker. The situation escalated as two tankers laden with fuel exploded, causing widespread panic and significant damage to the area.

“We heard a loud bang and the filling station went up into flames while a fuel tanker was offloading,” a nearby businessman explained the incident.

The explosion led to massive flames which have engulfed the station and nearby areas. Several vehicles have also been caught in the fire.

Meanwhile, firefighters from the Adamawa State Fire Service, Federal Fire Service, and the American University of Nigeria (AUN) are battling to contain the blaze.
