25:27Now PlayingResidents in Onitsha, southeast Nigeria are picking up the pieces after a tanker laden with petrol spilled its content resulting in an inferno which wreaked havoc on stalls near the Onchanja market leaving behind casualties, burnt buildings, and lock-up shops.
Victims of the unfortunate incident include a woman and her child who were burnt beyond recognition.
Traders are blaming the calamity on the State government's fire service for poor and untimely response.
Meanwhile, tragedy was averted when another tanker overturned and went up in flames at Omaba phase two, within the state less than 48 hours after the first incident.
Gist Nigeria gets first-hand accounts of the disasters, why they happened and what can be done to prevent a recurrence.
