The Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, Benue State Command, Yakubu Mohammad, on Monday advanced reasons for constant tanker explosions.
In a statement issued on the heels of tanker explosion that rocked the Oshigbudu community in the Agatu Local Government Area of the state on Sunday, the sector commander said the non-usage of safety valves to guard against spillage when tankers were involved in crashes lead to spillage and the attendant destruction.
He warned petroleum tanker owners against the non-usage of safety valves.
According to the statement signed by the command’s Public Education Officer, Oladele Meshach, the sector commander called on all petroleum tanker owners to ensure the immediate installation of safety valves on their tankers to ensure safety of lives, property and the products that the vehicles convey.
