At least 48 ******* in ********* fuel truck **********

At least 48 people have been ******* in a fuel tanker truck ********** following a collision with another vehicle in north-central Nigeria, the state’s disaster management agency says.

The State Emergency Management Agency in ****** state said the fuel truck collided with a truck carrying travellers and cattle.

Several other vehicles were also caught up in the accident, it said.

The agency’s spokesman Hussaini Ibrahim put the ****** toll at 48 and officials were still trying to clear the scene of the incident.

Nigeria’s state-owned firm NNPC Ltd last week hiked the price of petrol by at least 39 per cent, the second major increase in more than a year but shortages have continued, forcing motorists to ****** for hours in the country’s major cities and towns.
