Fuel tanker explosion in Nigeria

On the late morning of 21 October 2025, a tanker truck carrying petrol lost control and overturned on the Bida–Agaie stretch of the A124 highway near Essa Village, Niger State, Nigeria. The truck started to spill its contents, and locals began collecting fuel. In the early afternoon, the fuel ignited, causing an explosion that killed at least 42 people and injured a further 60.
