IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Fire razed Conoil fueling station in Area 10, Garki in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Saturday.
The fueling station shares the same fence with Abuja Municipial Area Council (AMAC) and it’s also close to Cyprian Ekwensi Center for Arts and Culture.
According to NTA, eyewitnesses said the fire outbreak occurred while a tanker was discharging petrol at the station around 3:53pm on Saturday afternoon.

Civilians were also said to have supported the firefighters.
