Tanker Explosion In Minna Leaves 30 Dead, 50 Cattle Burnt

A deadly tanker explosion has claimed the lives of over 30 people in Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State.

The incident occurred around 12:30 am on Sunday, September 8, 2024, along the Lapai-Agaie road, 2 kilometers from Dendo Community.

The explosion happened when a petrol tanker collided with a trailer truck carrying travelers and cattle from Kano to Lagos.

Two other vehicles, including a crane truck and a pickup van, were also involved.

Over 50 cattle were burnt alive in the explosion. The Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA) is still on the scene, conducting search and rescue operations as more bodies remain trapped in the wreckage.

negligence will forever killed Nigerians citizens

Divide the country

I hate this country.

Hope the owners of the troublesome cattles were also burnt? They have been using cattle to disturb our peace in this country.

Na wa ooo, can we get some good news in this country ??

That's a very sad one , may their soul rest in peace.

As for the cow , that's enough meat to go round.

48 not 30

I'm crying

Sigh... Even the truck and trailer drivers are more reckless than Danfo bus drivers.

The day I saw a fully loaded petrol tanker overtaking at top speed was the day I knew most Nigerian drivers and road s have a death wish!


I ask yet again... What exactly is the use of FRSC?!!

They haven't shown they deserve to even be paid salaries or be in existence.

Jam-packed travellers in a truck

.. same truck contained cattle who were also jam-packed

Many trucks from the north are known for this.

For those who care to know, if you are one of those who keep hoping and believing Nigeria go better one day, brother, sister, wake up from your sleep. No be today we don't dey hear that lyrics. Nigeria will never get better in future than the present Nigeria we all are witnessing today.

If you have means to Japa, please do. Hence, you'll keep believing and hoping until you enter grave. Please leave God out of this.

This report didn't state how many bush meat was killed! Nigeria is imploding on itself! Everything out of control and President is catching cruise wherever he is waiting for 2027

This country Sha. People just getting used to people dying in numbers..

The writer laid so much emphases on the cattle as if people didn't die .... hmmmmm

“Regardless of how it goes down, life goes on.”

If the headline had stated "Tanker Explosion In The US Leaves 30 Dead, 50 Injured"

RIPs would have flooded the whole internet, since they are Northern Nigerians. It doesn't matter that much.
