Four Escape Death As Vehicle Bursts Into Flames In Abuja
At least four passengers narrowly escaped death on Monday when a commercial vehicle caught fire opposite the Niger Barracks in Abuja.
The vehicle, identified as a Volkswagen Golf, was consumed by flames while in motion.
Eyewitnesses reported that the fire likely originated from a spark in the car’s battery.
Amos, a dispatch rider who witnessed the incident, told THE WHISTLER that, “The fire started most likely with a spark from the battery, because it was in motion when it started.”
Despite the intensity of the blaze, there were no casualties.
Amos confirmed, “Nobody died from this outbreak.”
