“The driver left Kano and was heading to Nguru in Yobe. when the accident happened,” Adam said.

He said: ” We are worried that in spite of police warning for people to steer clear from scenes of accidents involving fuel tankers, they still engage in such acts.

”People gathered around the accident scene, that is the reason for the mass casualty,” he said
