A fuel tanker has exploded in Maje town, on the outskirts of Abuja, killing two people and destroying 29 buildings, the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, has said.

A statement by NEMA spokesperson, Yushau Shuaibu, said the tanker fell and then exploded, killing the two victims and injuring many others. Two of the 29 buildings destroyed were residential apartments while 27 were shops.

Mr. Shuaibu did not say how many people were injured in the incident. He only said the injured had been taken to hospital.

please please when would evil and disaster stop in our land?
today flood, tommorrow boko haram next is accident another armed robbery. chei everyday disaster must happen.
All these boils down to the fact that safety is far fetched in Nigeria, carelessnes, our beleive system puts everything on luck instead of facts and raelity. Then economic gain paramount than safety(manage it till it dies) mentality/procastination. Its high time we consider safety of life before any thing that we do.

From the report, only 2 of the buildings were residential, while the remaining 27 were shops, so I want to believe that all the shops were closed b4 the inferno
