“More than 90 people have been killed and about 50 others wounded after an overturned fuel tanker exploded in northwestern Nigeria, according to police. The overnight explosion took place on an expressway in Jigawa State as people rushed to the vehicle to collect the fuel, a police spokesman said on Wednesday. … In 2020 alone, there were 1,531 petrol tanker crashes resulting in 535 deaths and injuries to 1,142 people, according to Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company in early September increased the price of petrol by at least 39 percent, the second steep hike in more than a year.” (10/16/24)
