Several people have died following a tanker explosion on Monday morning in Dan Magaji, Zaria, Kaduna State.
The crash happened around 8:30 am near Rochas Foundation School on the Kaduna–Kano expressway bypass, between Kwangila and Dan Magaji.
Eyewitnesses, including security analyst Zagazola Makama, said two fuel tankers collided with two passenger-filled Golf cars, causing five loud explosions. The blasts sent massive flames and thick black smoke across the busy highway.
“All the occupants of the cars died instantly, except for one driver who survived with severe burns,” an eyewitness told Makama.
Emergency responders quickly arrived, secured the area, and advised motorists to take alternative routes as rescue and recovery efforts continue.
