REPORT: Bullion Van Loaded With Money Catches Fire In Lagos State


A bullion van loaded with an unspecified amount of money went up in flames on Tuesday under the Ojota bridge, Lagos.
According to Vanguard, the van which did not have a fire extinguisher was driving towards toll gate, apparently to disburse the money in some banks when the unexpected happened.
The exact cause of the fire which occurred at about 2.30pm could not be immediately ascertained.
However, an eye witness, Mrs Moji Maitani, told newsmen:
“I was driving home when all of a sudden the vehicle directly in front of me veered to another lane. I quickly applied the break to avoid what the motorist attempted to dodge, only to discover that a vehicle was on fire.
“On further observation, it was discovered to be a bullion van. Its occupants rushed out and were flagging other motorists to demand for fire extinguisher. But I could not stop, in order not to be trapped in any disaster.”
Another eye witness, who asked not be named, said that the money stocked inside the van was completely burnt as the escorts could not go near the van, owing to the flames.
Managing Director, Lagos State Emergency Management Emergency, LASEMA, Mr. Tiamiyu Adesina, who confirmed the incident, said officials of Lagos State Fire Service arrived the scene to put out the fire.

The minister of agriculture and rural developmen Atudu Ogbeh , has said that Nigerian cows are the worst producers of milk across the world. Speaking in Lagos at the 79th anniversary of the Ikoyi Club 1938 on Thursday, September 28, Ogbeh said the cows raised in Nigeria produce far less quantity of milk than other in other parts of the world. The minister said while cows in some countries produce 100 litres of milk daily, an average Nigerian cow produces less than one litre of milk in a day. He also said that the cows in countries like Holland produce 50 litres per day on the average while the US cows have more production.
