ABUJA, July 2 (Reuters) - At least 50 people were killed in
Nigeria when fuel from a crashed truck that they were collecting
caught fire, a spokesman for the governor in central Benue state
said on Tuesday.
"A tanker loaded with fuel fell yesterday (Monday) and
people were scooping its products when it caught fire, killing
over 50 persons," the spokesman said.
Others were badly injured and taken to hospital, he said.
