Horrible death.

Roasted like Thanksgiving goat..

But the truth is more than 20persons were killed by the fire, so why are you reporting only 5.

I know people are blaming those even instead of us to channel our energy to the bad leadership for failing to do that road.

That road is one of the worst road ever in this country. More tragedy will still occur if they refuse to redo the road.

“The fire claimed the lives of five persons among the youths who had come to scoop fuel,” Edafe said.

Funny enough, if another tanker falls in the same location one month from now, they will still go and scoop fuel. We Nigerians are very stubborn.

I've been reading news like this since I was a boy.

The scooping of fuel from a fallen tanker in this country can never stop. Some months from now is too far... sef. let another tanker fall today in that same area, some persons will still go and scoop the spilled fuel. Our own stubbornness is of another planet. I remember when I was still a boy (ignorant )🤷‍♂️, similar thing happened l and my siblings where among the people scooping fuel. Till today, if I remember that incidence, I keep thanking God we escaped it.

At least today you understand and you will advise others not to do such things, many people are desperate.

The first report I read stated more than 20 people died, may their soul rest in peace.

Police reportee failed to describe road condition that possibly led to the fuel tanker accident. FG ought to be sued.

I don’t know what the media aims to achieve with this spread of lies.
The tanker fell on a road and some people were there helping out with traffic and filling the side of the road.

Passionate888:
People said more than 20 while olopa dey say 5

What were you expecting from Nigerian Police report?

Bad road and overspending, reckless driving of the tanker driver causing it

Abeg make una no vex, Tanker dey fall for America?

It will be more than 5 death.... Nigeria police

Sirmwill:
People still came to scoop fuel and died

Sometimes, i wonder if we're a set of brain damaged people in Nigeria that the same thing we know that killed many other people in other locations is what we will give ourselves, to allow that same thing kill us... It's just ridiculous!!!


RIP 2d deceased!

Very sad, rip to the deady

From eye witness accounts, way more than 20. And a lot more sustained injuries of varying degrees.

The terrible state of the road caused the accident and loss of lives as other commuters were affected.
