Fuel Tanker Overturns In Niger State
Barely days after a deadly tanker explosion claimed 45 lives in Essa community, another fuel-laden tanker overturned on Saturday morning in Takalafiya, Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State.
The incident occurred at about 8:00 a.m. and involved a tanker travelling from Lagos to Kano that lost control and overturned.
The prompt response of the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU) Fire Service and operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) prevented a potential fire outbreak.
Eyewitnesses said members of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Lapai Chapter, also arrived at the scene to assist in rescue efforts and ensure safety compliance.
Some of the spilled fuel was carefully recovered and transferred into containers to prevent wastage and reduce environmental hazards.
No casualties were reported, and normal traffic flow was restored shortly after the scene was cleared.
