A tragic tanker explosion rocked the Dan Magaji area of Zaria, Kaduna State, early Monday morning around 8:30 a.m. Two fuel-laden tankers collided with two passenger cars near the Rochas Foundation School, triggering a series of devastating blasts. The fireball that followed sent thick black smoke billowing over the Kaduna–Kano expressway.
The violent accident claimed the lives of nearly all passengers in the cars, leaving only one severely burned survivor. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, swiftly cordoning off the highway and urging motorists to find alternative routes. Rescue operations are ongoing, as officials work to piece together the full extent of the tragedy.
The community is grappling with shock and mourning as details continue to emerge.
