Some people reportedly died in Agbor town in Delta State after a petrol-laden truck erupted in flames in a densely populated area of the metropolis.

Agbor, the headquarters of Ika South Local Government Area in Delta State, was rocked by the explosion on Sunday afternoon.

Some houses and vehicles around the scene were severely damaged, with some still burning. 

The body of a car owner who was reportedly burnt beyond recognition was found on the road.
