A Nigerian man, identified as Ejiro Otarigho, has been hailed as a hero after he risked his life to drive a burning truck out of a residential area to save others.
To lessen the damage that a flaming truck might bring about if it exploded, Ejiro Otarigho drove it away from a heavily crowded residential neighbourhood in Agbarho Town, Ughelli North, Delta State, to a sparsely populated location.
