No fewer than five people died yesterday after a fuel tanker exploded at Tafa village along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway.

An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, told journalists in Kaduna that the tanker laden with kerosene was trying to avoid dangerous potholes on the road when it suddenly fell by the roadside and burst into flames.

“Two of the deceased died after inhaling fumes from the flames and the other three were burnt by the fire,” he said.

According to him, many others who sustained severe burns have been hospitalised while several vehicles parked by the roadside were burnt.

Thousands of Abuja-Kaduna bound passengers were left stranded following the incident.

A spokesperson for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), confirmed the incident to newsmen.

The official, however, said he could not ascertain if lives were lost in the incident.

The busy Kaduna-Abuja highway links the Federal Capital Territory with the North West and North East, with thousands of vehicles plying it every day.

It also links the North with the South through Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.

It is well. Rest in peace to the dead.

Tafa, Mara-raba his are all the same!
RIP to the dead dough.

Very unfortunate.

RIP to the departed.

I was on this route yesterday at the time.

The incident caused a lot of traffic jam.


Some motorists moved to the other lane, causing further traffic jam.


thanks to the staff of FRSC who were on ground to remedy the situation.


my sympathy goes to the families whose loved ones got injured as a result of the fire outbreak from the Tanker carrying Kerosene.

Avoidable death everywhere! I blame the government. I blame buhari. I blame you and I blame me.
May their souls rest in peace.

Remove the Potor and replace with Igbos in his comments and see what I mean.

Funny enough, people are liking his comments!
