Many people in the shops and others close to the incident were trapped and burnt to ashes while others sustained various degrees of injuries.

“What I can tell you is that we have seen three corpses while many others were seen burnt beyond recognition. We have also seen six motorcycles and three vehicles also burnt at the scene,” he said.

Another resident from the town called Usman Baba Emigi described the incident as very unfortunate, adding that the two tankers were still burning as at the time of going to press with the villagers looking helplessly as they could not go close to the shops to salvage some of the goods.

According to him, “many shops were burnt and Fire service from Kutigi and Road Safety are on ground to rescue the situation”.

Similar incidences had happened in the town in the past with many casualties, shops and residential houses razed down.
