    More than thirty persons lost their lives while over fifty cows were burnt as petrol tanker exploded in Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State.

    The accident happened when the tanker collided head-on with a trailer truck carrying passengers and cattle from Wudil, Kano State, en route to Lagos.

    Abdullahi Baba-Arab, Director General of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), confirmed the tragic event in a statement on Sunday. The explosion happened around 12:30 am along the Lapai-Agaie road, approximately 2km from Dendo Community.

    The NSEMA statement read: โ€œNSEMA has received a report of a deadly tanker explosion that occurred on Sunday, 8th September 2024, at about 12:30 am along Lapai-Agaie road, 2km from Dendo Community in Agaie LGA.

    โ€œThe incident happened when a petrol tanker loaded with PMS collided with a trailer truck carrying travellers and cattle from Wudil, Kano State, heading to Lagos. Two other vehicles, a crane truck and a pickup van, were also involved in the incident.

    โ€œOver 30 people have already been confirmed dead, with more than 50 cattle burnt alive. NSEMAโ€™s Rapid Response Team (RRT), in conjunction with LGEMCs, is still at the scene conducting search and rescue operations, as more bodies remain trapped inside the vehicles,โ€ the statement read.

    Meanwhile, the state Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago has expressed sadness over the loss of lives and properties from the explosion.

    In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, the Governor says he is pained by the unfortunate incident and the colossal loss incurred.
    The Governor called for calm by the residents of the affected area and also enjoined road users to always be cautious and abide by road traffic regulations to safeguard lives and property.

    The Governor prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed and grant quick recovery to those injured.
