NIGER – JANUARY 18, 2025 When a petrol tanker overturned on the busy Abuja-Kaduna highway, it attracted the attention of locals who came to fill their jerry cans for free. Suddenly, however, there was a massive explosion that killed most of the people in the area. Some sources put the number of confirmed casualties at more than 60, others speak of 70.
