Kindly share:<\/span><\/p>\n

No fewer than 30 people have perished in a petrol tanker explosion fire in the Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State.<\/span><\/p>\n

The accident was caused by a head-on collision between a petrol tanker and a trailer truck that was conveying\u00a0 travellers and cattle from Wudil, Kano State.<\/span><\/p>\n

The resultant fire also killed over 50 cows, and consumed two other vehicles, a crane truck and a pickup van.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdullahi Baba-Arab, the Director General of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, said the incident occurred about 12:30 am on Sunday, along the Lapai-Agaie road, near Dendo community in Agaie LGA.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the statement: \u201cNSEMA has received a report of a deadly tanker explosion that occurred on Sunday, 8th September 2024, at about 12:30 am along Lapai-Agaie road, 2km from Dendo Community in Agaie LGA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident happened when a petrol tanker loaded with PMS collided with a trailer truck carrying travellers and cattle from Wudil, Kano State, heading to Lagos. Two other vehicles, a crane truck and a pickup van, were also involved in the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver 30 people have already been confirmed dead, with more than 50 cattle burnt alive.
