The story is not complete.... Locking the discharge valve is no rocket science... You can do it.... It is more like a tap. Just turn and go.... It is possible that due to use, it has wornoout like your normal tap malfunctions, too.

And very likely they were trying to fix it when the unfortunate happened
If the discharge valve was worn out like you stated, is it when the tanker is fully loaded with fuel and you've driven several kilometers that you'll begin to adjust and try to fix it?

Isn't that what they were supposed to do before loading the tanker with fuel?

Isn't that gross negligence on the part of the oil company as well as the driver who should have repaired or adjusted his discharge valve before loading his tanker with fuel?

I still go with the initial theory of the driver trying to sell off a part of the fuel hence the explosion...it makes more sense

The rate at which most Nigerians place money higher than their lives and higher than the life of their fellow Nigerians is so annoying.

The driver according to the report was sent to deliver fuel, why tamper with it just to enrich your pocket? If he had driven straight to his destination and discharged the contents of his tanker there, this incident wouldn't have occurred, and he and would have still had his precious life.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Thats the point...
