Tragedy struck Tuesday morning in the Isolo area of Lagos when a bus loaded with several 50 litre kegs of Premium Motor Spirit  (PMS) exploded, killing three people on board.

The incident, which occurred at Musiratu Lasisi Street around 4:30am, was said to have been caused as a result of brake failure.
According to eyewitnesses, the bus was coming from Ikorodu but had brake failure along James Oni Street, which made the driver to swerve into nearby Musiratu Lasisi.
The four-passenger bus, it was learnt, rammed into a truck parked infront of a bakery, at which point it exploded.
According to a motorcyclist, Femi Ajibola, who said he was woken up by loud bomb-like sound around 5am, told New Telegraph that only the driver of the bus survived.
The ‘okada’ rider, who was still agitated when we spoke with him, said that he heard the driver screaming “Alhaja is in the bus” and wailing for help.
