The truck tipped sideways, causing leaks from the damaged tank and spilling its contents onto the ground which posed a significant threat to residents, lives, and properties within the vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\"

preventing any potential explosion or fire outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state\u2019s NSCDC Commandant, UI Alfadarai said they had deployed adequate personnel to restrict access to the felled tanker, ensuring public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that the NSCDC worked closely with first responders to ensure the situation remained under
