JUST IN: Another Fuel Tanker Explosion Strikes Again in Jigawa

A fuel-laden tanker has erupted in flames at the Jigawa-Kano border in North West Nigeria, causing alarm among bystanders in the area.

Aliyu M. A., Public Relations Officer of the Federal Fire Service (FFS), Jigawa State Command, confirmed the incident to news outlets on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.

According to Aliyu, “On November 12, 2024, at approximately 10:43 hours, the Federal Fire Service received a distress call from Kuho Village Head, Zubairu Ahmad, reporting a tanker accident at Tsaida, Kwanar Kalle, near Gamoji village along Maiduri Road.”
