At least 86 people were killed in central Nigeria on Saturday when a fuel tanker that had overturned burst into flames, burning those who had rushed to collect the gasoline. The price of gasoline has increased fivefold in 18 months, leading many to risk their lives to recover fuel during tanker truck accidents which authorities say are common in Nigeria.

A fuel tanker exploded after flipping over in central Nigeria on Saturday, killing 70 people who had scrambled to take the fuel.

Kumar Tsukwam, the head of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Niger State, said a truck carrying 60,000 litres of gasoline had an accident at about 10am at the Dikko junction on the road linking the capital city, Abuja, to the northern city of Kaduna.


“Most of the victims were burnt beyond recognition,” Tsukwam said. “We are at the scene to clear things up.”

An FSRC statement said a “large crowd of people gathered to scoop the fuel [when] suddenly the tanker burst into flames, engulfing another tanker.

“So far 60 corpses recovered from scene, the victims are mostly scavengers,” it said.

A fuel tanker exploded after flipping over in central Nigeria on Saturday, killing 70 people who had scrambled to take the fuel.

Ok what the actual fuck? Deserved. How retarded can you be? It is a flipped vehicle spilling highly flammable liquid. What were they doing, grabbing buckets of burning fuel? Even if was not on fire when they were scooping it will be soon because of the crash.

Kumar Tsukwam, the head of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Niger State, said a truck carrying 60,000 litres of gasoline had an accident at about 10am at the Dikko junction on the road linking the capital city, Abuja, to the northern city of Kaduna.

Anyone with common sense would get as far away as possible.

“Most of the victims were burnt beyond recognition,” Tsukwam said. “We are at the scene to clear things up.”

Not much difference to be fair.

An FSRC statement said a “large crowd of people gathered to scoop the fuel [when] suddenly the tanker burst into flames, engulfing another tanker.

@Fatness Everdeen stealing your reaction video.
Nigerians who are on fire holding a bucket of gasoline:

“So far 60 corpses recovered from scene, the victims are mostly scavengers,” it said.

Probably about the same as the collective IQ of everyone who was trying to scoop up gasoline from a fuel tanker crash.
