TOPSHOT - Bodies of victims of the explosion of a fuel tanker that resulted in the death of almost 150 people are brought to a mass grave to be laid to rest in Majiya on October 16, 2024. An explosion tore through crowds of people who had rushed to collect fuel spilling from a crashed tanker in northern Nigeria, killing at least 147, officials told AFP on Wednesday. The tragedy is the latest such accident at a time when petrol has become a precious commodity in the country, which is suffering its worst economic crisis in a generation. The fuel tanker veered to avoid another vehicle and crashed in the town of Majiya, Jigawa state late on Tuesday, police said.
