Security guard found dead inside petrol tanker

A private security guard attached to Frankies Filling Station, along Enerhen Road in Uvwie Local Council of Delta State, was yesterday found dead inside a petrol tanker belonging to the owner of the station where he worked.The middle-aged man identified as Emmanuel Obene, also known as Emeke, had been declared missing since last week Saturday, only to be found dead in the tanker when it was about loading fuel at one of the fuel depots near Warri Refinery.

Sources at the filling station told newsmen that the security guard might have died in the process of trying to scoop fuel from the tanker.

The father of a 12-year-old girl had been working in the filling station for some years and was the head of security before the unfortunate incident occurred.Around 1:00p.m. on Monday, policemen from the Enerhen Divisional Police Station with the help of sympathisers, were seen evacuating the remains of the victim and the bucket he was allegedly using to scoop fuel from the tanker.

Efforts to speak with the management of the filling station and police operatives sent to evacuate the body proved abortive.

However, the body had been deposited in one of the morgues in Effurun, awaiting police investigations.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zanna Ibrahim, confirmed the incident when contacted on the telephone.
