Pastor Asiughwure disclosed to the congregation that God Almighty revealed the incident to him before he embarked on a journey from a western State.
The cleric revealed that he was trapped in a vehicular traffic when he was returning from a missionary journey with one of his pastors that fateful day.
"I told one of my pastors who was with me and he became afraid.
"The guy was moving up and down, not knowing he was afraid. Few minutes to 12pm, I said let us even go and see what these people are doing."
He explained that by the time they got to the very spot, they saw people including children scooping fuel from a fallen tanker.
"Children were selling fuel. They were evening dragging price. I said this thing they are doing is bad.
"At about 4 minutes after 12am, I asked my pastor, let us leave this place. We just turned back, the place went up in flames. All the people that we saw scooping fuel, they all got roasted. Pastor run leave G.O (General Overseer) without waiting to find out whether fire done reach where he dey."
According to him, "I was running. I looked back whether fire done reach where I dey and before I know, I jam car parked on its own. I summersault go back.
"We were running because the wife and children were inside the car sleeping and I said; Emma run to the car, your wife and children are sleeping. I entered the car with reverse. It was because of me that had the mind to enter my car, many other cars escaped. People were roasted. People that were coming from a journey tired, were sleeping inside their vehicles.
"When went back back again, people were lying down, they were rushed to the hospitals. The hospitals in the town were filled. We are not the best but God saved my life and that of my Pastor with his wife. That's why we are here thanking God."
