Three persons have been confirmed dead and many houses have been razed in Ohoror community, Ughelli North council, after a truck conveying liquefied petroleum gas exploded. About 25 houses were lost to the inferno. Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa commiserated with the community and directed the State Director of Fire Service to remain on the ground until the fire was completely extinguished. Governor Okowa commended the Fire Service for the prompt response and advised the community to keep off from the scene, while President-General of Uwheru Kingdom, Macpherson Igbedi, appealed for more efforts to evacuate abandoned gas-laden tankers before they explode. Meanwhile, a gang of suspected armed robbers attacked a bullion van belonging to one of the new generation banks and carted away an undisclosed amount of money.
