Another Tanker Explodes in Jigawa, Quick Response Prevents Death
Another tanker explosion has hit Jigawa State, sparking fear among residents of Tsaida community in Dutse Local Government Area.
This incident follows closely on the heels of a devastating tanker explosion just weeks earlier in Majia town, Taura LGA, where over 150 lives were tragically lost.
Aliyu M. A., the spokesperson for the Federal Fire Service, shared details of the incident in a statement.
According to him, the service received an urgent call on the morning of November 12, 2024, from Zubairu Ahmad, the village head of Kuho, alerting them to the tanker accident at Tsaida, located near Kwanar Kalle along the Maiduri Road.
This area, with its busy roads, has seen increasing traffic from heavy-duty vehicles transporting fuel and other goods across the region, making such incidents a rising concern.
In response to the distress call, Federal Fire Service personnel, supported by security teams, immediately mobilized and rushed to the scene.
Their swift action helped to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading further and causing additional damage.
The firefighters worked alongside police and local security forces, whose coordinated efforts were instrumental in bringing the situation under control.
Thanks to these combined efforts, no lives were lost in this incident, though one person sustained a minor injury.
Aliyu commended the prompt response and teamwork that helped avert a major tragedy, emphasizing the importance of quick action during emergencies.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
