There has been no official statement as of the time of filing this report, as men of the State Fire Service were battling hard to put off the fire.
The depot was reopened for operation two years ago after many years of neglect.
The reopening of the depot was part of the turn-around maintenance of the government to ease fuel loading and distribution.
The development caused traffic gridlock on Apata-Abeokuta Road.
