The federal and state fire services jointly extinguished the incident.
Officials with the fire service prevented it from spreading to the NNPC petrol station and nearby properties.
The fire incident occurred as a result of a brake failure and a tanker’s failure, which caused it to lose control, hit a Prado jeep and a car, then fell onto an open road and caught fire in the process, according to the release’s preliminary investigation .
The fire affected the tanker and a car, but no one was hurt, despite the jeep being pushed into a nearby gutter on impact.

After her last film role received a lot of pride from her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham, Nicola Peltz has shared her excitement over the most recent project in her acting career.

Actor Nicola Peltz has confirmed the latest project in her career. She’s expressed excitement over the opportunity, which is said to be giving her more experience behind the camera, as well as another starring role on screen.
Nicola, 30, has appeared in several films over the years, including Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). It was announced last week that she will star in thriller Pretty Ugly and also serve as an executive producer, with it understood to be the first time she’s held that position on a film.
It was reported just days ago that Nicola will star alongside Jazzy De Lisser and Mary Stuart Masterson in the “murder mystery”. The film is said to be written and directed by Erica Dunton, who has previously worked on TV shows such as Ted Lasso, the Summer I Turned Pretty and Outer Banks.

The news was shared by Deadline and the outlet said that the film, set in North Carolina, centres on a mother and daughter, played by Nicola’s co-stars. Their relationship “unravels” with the return of a “provocative makeup influencer,” played by Nicola, amid a murder in the area.
Her co-star Mary, 59, whose previous credits include Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), posted about the project following the report about it. Her post on Instagram later prompted reaction from Nicola, who shared her excitement.
I’m slow to post these things, but I’m so happy to be a part of this movie, Mary wrote yesterday. With the most incredible cast and crew, under the truly inspiring direction of Erica Dunton, I had a (quite intense) ball down in Wilmington, North Carolina.
You won’t believe what my movie daughter Jazzy and her new friend Nicole get up to, Mary continued teasing over the upcoming movie.

Since then, Nicola, her co-star, has reacted. In the comments section this morning, she wrote, “Mary, you’re so incredible, I’m so excited for this.” She also earlier today shared Mary’s post on her Instagram account.
Lola (2024), which Nicola co-wrote and directed, was her most recent feature-length film. She was supported by some of her in-laws at the launch of the movie, which marked her directorial debut.
At the premiere in Los Angeles, she was seen cosying up to her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham, 51. Nicola’s husband Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his brother Cruz Beckham, 20, were also in attendance at the special occasion.

Nicola and her mother-in-law were even seen dancing together at an apparent after-party as the Spice Girls’ Wannabe played. And ahead of the film’s release, Victoria said she “could not be more proud” of her daughter-in-law.
Her support suggested that she was on good terms with Nicola, following previous rumours of tension in their relationship. There’s since been renewed speculation about the family, with it rumoured that there’s now a rift between Brooklyn and his parents Victoria and David Beckham, 50.
Brooklyn is said to have grown close to his in-laws and it’s been claimed that he “doesn’t really feel like he fits into” his own family. A source told the Mirror recently: “He just doesn’t feel his family have treated Nicola well and now that he’s grown so close to her family in the States, he doesn’t really feel like he fits into the Beckham family right now.”
Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship with his parents, a source suggested to the Mirror last month that Brooklyn and Nicola were stronger than ever. They were described as a young couple “enjoying their lives together”.

Hollywood model Bobby T and model Will Poulter had a three-year relationship, but she claims he “gave” her and her son without getting a second opinion.

Will Poulter’s ex-girlfriend has accused him of ‘ghosting’ her and her son after she claims he dumped her ‘without warning’ over WhatsApp. The 32-year-old was in a three-year relationship with model Bobby T, who at 45 is 13 years older than him.
After being caught having lunch and spending time with Top Boy actress Saffron Hocking, 31, they were later seen having lunch and spending time together at the Glastonbury Festival and Wimbledon. The actor, who rose to fame in the E4 sketch show School of Comedy, is reportedly moving on.
However, his ex-boyfriend claims the two had built a life together before Will vanished “like he never existed” and that they were discussing marriage. He also took to social media to publicly criticize his actions, especially since he was her young son’s stepdad.
Taking to Instagram, Bobby – whose real name is Erin Campaneris – wrote in her stories: “Just so there’s no confusion, I was in a real relationship for almost three years. We built a life together. We planned the details of our wedding. He wasn’t just in my life. He was in my son’s.”

She continued, “He gave him the name “his stepson,” and they were in a genuine relationship. My son only recalls a life there because he was his age. His behavior was that.
He volunteered his classroom and spent his first days of school. He attended school gatherings and showed up on time. He was regarded as a member of the family.
“He then abruptly ended it over WhatsApp without any prior warning or indication of trouble.” That was it. I’m just gone.
Bobby described how she was “in love,” and Bobby said, “We were shocked.” However, especially from the perspective of my son, how easily he disappeared hurts the most. as if he had never existed.
I had been waiting months for more clarity, but neither him nor his family, who we consider to be family, gave me that. After the split, which is thought to have taken place earlier this year, “She went on to say she” didn’t even get their belongings back.”
Bobby explained how she had experienced abuse and resentment from other women following the breakup, saying, “I am not scorned. To allow me to continue on with my life in peace, I simply want the truth to be revealed. Please let this be the end, and I won’t be adding anything more.
In 2022, Will and Bobby were first seen kissing on West Hollywood’s streets as they were first seen together. Will is thought to divide his time between America and the UK while she and her son reside there.
A source told me that Will and Bobby’s romance was “not going to last long.” Bobby’s son is alleged to be her top priority.
Will, who has appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia, We Are The Millers, Maze Runner, and The Revenant, is said to have struggled with juggling work and the distance.
The source continued to tell The Sun: “He’s known Saffron for a while but they have been spending more time together recently. They were both hosted by Barbour at Glasto and got on like a house on fire. It’s very early days and while they might be telling people they are just friends, the sparks between them are obvious to everyone.” The Mirror has reached out to Will’s reps for comment on this story.

After a majority of voters in a referendum, Slovenia’s parliament passed a law granting terminally ill adults the right to end their lives.
With 50 votes in favor, 34 against, and three abstentions, the bill was approved by legislators on Friday, allowing for assisted dying in cases of intolerable suffering after all treatment options have been exhausted.
According to Slovenia’s STA news agency, the right to assisted dying won’t be available in the event of intolerable suffering brought on by mental illness.
In the upcoming weeks, it is anticipated to become effective.
In a consultative referendum last year, 55% of Slovenians voted against assisted suicide. Opponents of the law may attempt to sway enough votes to avert a new referendum.
Despite several amendments during its passage through parliament, the nation’s Commission for Medical Ethics announced this week that it remained firm in its position that the bill poses high ethical risks.
The “right]to assisted dying] does not represent a defeat for medicine,” according to Tereza Novak, a lawmaker from the ruling Freedom Movement, which had supported the bill.
The liberal MP claimed that it would be wrong for medicine to prevent people from dying if they so choose, and that it cannot do so.
The bill has been denounced by the conservative Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), who claims it “opens the door to a culture of death, … the loss of human dignity, and the minimization of the value of life, especially for the most vulnerable.”
The vote places the central European nation, along with Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, and some other states in the United States, among those that allow terminally ill people to receive medical care to end their lives.
Prince Harry holds fears of a UK banishment, according to a royal expert, who thinks the Duke of Sussex would like to heal the royal family rift
Prince Harry is said to be willing to fix the rift(Image: Getty Images)
Prince Harry fears he will be banished from the UK once his brother William becomes King, a royal expert believes. King Charles ’ youngest son wants to heal the rift with the Royal Family which began with his and wife Meghan’s defection to the USA.
Two of the Sussexes’ key aides met Charles’s communication chief recently, sparking rumours of an olive branch between the two sides. But biographer Tom Bower believes the father and son are a long way from reconciling, and it is possible they may never meet again.
Tom said: “Whether they’ll meet again in Charles’s lifetime depends on how long Charles lives. I couldn’t say never because I’m sure Charles wants to meet his son, but so much depends on how Harry behaves.”
Harry reportedly feels William could banish him from the UK
He added: “Harry is seriously worried that when his father dies one day, William will literally banish him and he will have no status in Britain at all. He will be persona non grata.”
Tom, 78, who wrote Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, went on to describe Harry as “his own worst enemy”.
The former journalist told the Mirror the Duke of Sussex is “desperate” to repair the relationship with his 76-year-old father. But with Charles continuing to receive treatment for cancer and the extent of the rift in the family, -reconciliation may not happen.
“Harry needs a meeting with Charles to show he is part of the Royal Family and to establish his credibility in Britain,” Tom said.“But as long as the Palace won’t give him access to Charles, he can’t take the first step. They suspect that the moment he meets Charles, he will use it to establish his credibility, because that’s what he desperately needs, and that’s also why he’s kept away.”
Meredith Maines, Meghan and Harry’s chief of staff in California, and Liam Maguire, the head of their UK PR operation, recently met Charles’s communication secretary Tobyn Andreae for drinks in London.
Sources hinted the get-together was the beginning of the end of the years of tension and estrangement between the father and son. The two have not been in the same room together since Harry’s flying visit to Buckingham Palace following the shock announcement of Charles’s cancer in February 2024.

The King has met the youngest Sussex child, four-year-old Lilibet, only once. Harry’s next scheduled visit to his homeland is expected to come in September, but it could coincide with Charles and Camilla’s annual holiday to Balmoral.
Tom said it is very unlikely they will meet, adding: “My money would absolutely be no. If he did meet him, it would be in private. A lot depends on Charles’s health, that is the unspoken issue in Britain today.
“Because Charles will be in Scotland, the question is will Harry be invited up to Scotland? My guess is no.”
The Duke has a mountain to climb after he and Meghan made personal disclosures and accusations in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Harry then released his memoir, Spare, in 2023, in which he wrote about his and William’s broken relationship.
Tom also cites Harry’s recent interview with the BBC following his High Court defeat over state security as a “terrible act of self harm”.
The dad-of-two referred to the legal battle as an “establishment stitch-up”, and said he didn’t know “how much longer” the King might live. “There’s huge anger in Britain, not least from William, Kate and Camilla about the awful things Harry has said,” Tom said. “The interview he gave after he lost the security case, and accused the establishment of a stitch up, showed that he’s completely uncontrollable. He is unpredictable and his own worst enemy.
“But he fears that once Charles dies he will get no help from William. I wouldn’t be surprised if William won’t have him at his Coronation.”
Any contact between Harry and Charles would need the full backing of Charles’s closest and most trusted aides, Tom added, and unfortunately for the younger royal brother, he is not a priority at the moment.
He said: “Charles’s health is the prime concern, and William’s succession is the next thing. Harry’s problems are irrelevant and they are irritated by him. Harry can’t just arrive at the Palace and see his father.
“When Harry was in Britain at the time Charles’s visit to France was cancelled because of the riots, there was ample time to meet and one would assume Charles’s diary was empty. But Harry was told his diary was full and he couldn’t see him.
“He can’t even get him on the phone because they don’t trust him and they’re angry with him. They don’t understand his motivations.”
It has been said that the recent peace summit would not have happened without Prince William ’s blessing, but too much has happened between the two brothers for -reconciliation to be an option.

Tom, currently working on a follow-up to Revenge, also claimed that William and Kate, both 43, would probably block any further reconciliation and, given Charles’s health, the pressure is mounting.
While Harry has made sporadic trips to the UK since he and Meghan stepped down as working royals and relocated to California, Meghan has set foot on UK soil only once, for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
As she continues to build her As Ever lifestyle brand and prepare for a second series of Netflix show, With Love, her own relationship with The Firm is not on her agenda, Tom said.
“Meghan is tired of it all, she wants it to be over,” he added. “She doesn’t give two hoots about what happens.
“It puts a great strain on their marriage and their relationship because Harry frets and becomes very unhappy about it all.
“Meghan wants to get on, and build herself up as a television personality and have nothing more to do with Britain at all. It doesn’t interest her.”
