Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Sunday commended Ejiro Otarigho, a petroleum tanker driver, for his uncommon heroism that averted a major disaster.

Mr Otarigho, in a rare act of bravery, drove of the petroleum truck that exploded at Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area on Saturday, away from the residential area.

The governor’s spokeman Olisa Ifeajika, in a statement in Asaba on Sunday, said the Agbarho-born driver’s bravery and patriotism-propelled risk saved what might have resulted in colossal loss of lives and property.
