A tanker carrying 24,000 litres of diesel collided with a Toyota Hilux on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Bypass Expressway in Kaduna on Saturday morning. While no fatalities were reported, diesel began to spill from the tanker after its cover was removed. Community residents quickly began scooping up the spilled diesel using jerry cans, plates, and other containers.
Twenty-five-year-old Kaduna State University student Ruth Baba explained that she was collecting the diesel to help pay for her school fees, as she had lost her parents and no one else could assist her financially. Similarly, 45-year-old Josee Bande scooped diesel to provide for his hungry family, stating that the money he earned would cover their rent and food.
The tanker driver was reportedly in stable condition, but attempts to contact the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission in Kaduna were unsuccessful, as he did not answer his phone or respond to a text message.
