A hatóságok eredetileg 30 holttestet találtak, de egy későbbi közlemény szerint további 18 áldozat holttestét találták meg, akik az ütközésben halálra égtek.
Egy üzemanyagszállító tartályhajó frontálisan ütközött egy másik teherautóval Nigériában, robbanást okozva, amelyben legalább 48 ember meghalt – közölte az ország katasztrófaelhárítási hivatala.
Az üzemanyagszállító tartályhajó szintén szarvasmarhákat szállított a Niger állam észak-középső részén található Agaie körzetben, és közülük legalább 50-en élve megégtek a vasárnapi balesetben – mondta Abdullahi Baba-Arab, a Niger Állami Vészhelyzet-kezelési Ügynökség főigazgatója.
Baba-Arab közölte, hogy a baleset helyszínén kutatási és mentési munkálatok zajlottak.
Baba-Arab először azt mondta, hogy 30 holttestet találtak, de később kijelentette, hogy további 18 áldozat holttestét találták meg, akik halálra égtek az ütközésben. Azt mondta, hogy a halottakat tömegesen temették el.
Mohammed Bago, Niger állam kormányzója kijelentette, hogy az érintett terület lakóinak nyugodtnak kell maradniuk, és arra kérte a közlekedőket, hogy „mindig legyenek óvatosak, és tartsák be a közúti közlekedési szabályokat az életek és a tulajdon védelme érdekében”.
Mivel nincs hatékony teherszállítási vasúti rendszer, Nigériában, Afrika legnépesebb országában gyakoriak a halálos kamionbalesetek a legtöbb főút mentén.
A nigériai szövetségi közúti közlekedésbiztonsági testület adatai szerint csak 2020-ban 1531 benzines tartályhajó balesetet szenvedett, amelyek 535 halálos áldozattal és 1142 sérülttel jártak.
