A petrol tanker exploded at an NNPC mega station in Unguwar Ma’azu a suburb of Kaduna city on Saturday killing three persons and injuring fifteen others.
The fire which broke out around 7pm also burnt seventeen vehicles which had been queuing for petrol at the station.
An eyewitness told The Nation that the incident was caused by leaking fuel from the petrol tanker which was discharging fuel at the time.
The eyewitness said that the spillage got to the area where vehicles had queued up for fuel.
“But, when it was noticed, people were cautioned not to switch on their vehicles until the fuel dried up but a man in a Golf 3 vehicle was said to have switched on his car and fire broke out.
“It was so pathetic as the driver of the Golf car who did not heed to the warning did not live to tell the story. He got burnt beyond recognition inside his car.”
