Residents scoop diesel after tanker accident in Kaduna

A tanker carrying 24,000 litres of diesel lost control while trying to navigate around a Toyota Hilux on Saturday morning and fell on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Bypass Expressway in Kaduna. Although no lives were lost, diesel was gushing from the tanker after its cover was removed following the accident. Residents in the community were seen scooping the overflowing diesel into jerry cans, plates and other containers. 25-year-old Miss Ruth Baba, a student of Kaduna State University, said she was scooping the diesel because it presented an opportunity to raise money for her school fees.
