A tragic collision between a fuel tanker and a truck in Nigeria has resulted in the death of at least 48 people and the loss of numerous animals.
Initial reports indicated 30 bodies recovered, but further searches found 18 additional victims. The authorities have since conducted a mass burial for the deceased.
Niger state's government urges residents to remain calm and advocates for cautious driving as truck accidents are alarmingly common on Nigerian roads.
The absence of an efficient railway system in Nigeria contributes to the frequency of fatal truck accidents, with over 1,500 gasoline tanker crashes reported in 2020.
