A devastating tanker explosion has claimed several lives and left others injured in Dan Magaji, Zaria, Kaduna State, on Monday morning.
The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. near Rochas Foundation School along the Kaduna–Kano Expressway bypass, between Kwangila and Dan Magaji.
According to eyewitnesses, the crash involved two fuel-laden tankers and two passenger-filled Golf cars. The collision sparked five powerful explosions, unleashing a massive fireball and thick black smoke that engulfed the highway.
“All the occupants of the cars died instantly, except one driver who survived with severe burns,” a witness told security analyst Zagazola Makama, who shared details of the tragedy on X.
Emergency responders and security operatives have sealed off the scene, urging motorists to take alternative routes as rescue and recovery operations continue
