There is panic among the residents and road users as another fuel-laden tanker has erupted in flames at the Jigawa-Kano border in Jigawa State, Northwest Nigeria.
It is worth noting that this latest incident comes just a month after a deadly tanker explosion on October 15, 2024, in Majia, Taura Local Government Area, which left over 170 people dead when a petrol truck en route from Kano to Nguru in Yobe State ignited, reports Nigerian Tribune.
The latest incident, confirmed by Aliyu M. A., Public Relations Officer of the Federal Fire Service (FFS) for Jigawa Command, took place near Gamoji village along Maiduri Road.
Aliyu detailed the timeline of the response, stating, “On November 12, 2024, at approximately 10:43 hours, the Federal Fire Service received a distress call from Kuho Village Head, Zubairu Ahmad, regarding a tanker accident at Tsaida, Kwanar Kalle.”
He added, “The FFS responded promptly, arriving at the scene at 10:50 hours. The fire was contained and brought under control.”
