A tanker driver, identified as Ejiro Otarigho has risked his life to drive an already burning fuel tanker, out of a highly populated business area in Delta State.

It was gathered that the incident occured on Friday around 7pm at Agbarho town in Ughelli North local government area of Delta State.

Series of videos now viral on social media showed the brave driver drove the vehicle, long distance with flames to a more safer place where the tanker got burnt completely.

One of the videos shows the fire has already enveloped the whole part of the vehicle, while Ejiro bravely used reverse gear to put the vehicle to a more safer place.

Just yesterday my uncle (Mr Ejiro Otarigho) who is a tanker driver averted a disaster that would have taken the lives of many and destroyed many properties at Agbarho Town, Ughelli North LGA.
