  • Just two days after a tanker explosion killed over 90 people in Niger State.

  • Despite the recent disaster, young people were seen gathering around the truck, attempting to collect the fuel.

  •   The incident has raised concerns about the recurring risks of fuel-related accidents in Nigerian communities.

Barely 48 hours after a devastating tanker explosion claimed the lives of over 90 people in Niger State, another alarming incident has occurred in Bida town, where residents gathered to scoop fuel from a fallen tanker.
