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.
