The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, PCNGi, has linked the Abuja-Keffi road tanker explosion to possible brake failure.

This was as it said that a comprehensive probe would be launched to determine the root cause of the incident.

DAILY POST reports that the tanker exploded on Wednesday evening near the Karu bridge in the federal capital territory, FCT.

While several cars have been reportedly burnt in the explosion, the number of casualties cannot be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.

A statement by PCNGi expressed grief over the tragic accident, saying it may have been caused by possible brake failure.

“Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this devastating incident.

“While initial reports suggest the involvement of a Bi-Fueled Petrol Tanker, we urge the public to await the outcome of a thorough investigation to ascertain the exact cause of the accident.

“Preliminary accounts indicate a possible brake system failure leading to the explosion of the petrol storage tank, but it is crucial to avoid speculation until all facts are established,” the statement read.
