The collision involved a fuel tanker carrying cattle that exploded, resulting in at least 48 fatalities, as reported by the Niger State Emergency Management Agency.
Authorities confirmed that 50 cattle burned alive in the blaze, highlighting the tragic consequences of the accident that occurred in the Agaie area.
Governor Mohammed Bago urged residents to remain calm and emphasized the importance of road safety and adherence to traffic regulations to prevent such tragedies.
