The incident occurred on Saturday morning when a tanker carrying 60,000 liters of gasoline overturned at Dikko Junction along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway. A crowd had gathered to collect the spilled fuel, and the explosion was triggered when gasoline came into contact with a generator being used to transfer the fuel to another tanker. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reported that many of the victims were burnt beyond recognition. The explosion has raised concerns about fuel transportation safety in Nigeria, with authorities and emergency services responding to the scene to manage the aftermath and conduct rescue operations.
