The driver lied... did you read that?... "The vapor left" wasn't what killed them.
No. How did you know because it was written? People will naturally say he lied because it exploded. Did the driver later confessed he lied? If you use gas at home and it stops burning at the burner, won't you naturally say it has finished

oga if he was your normal customer you go always dey do check everytime? probably that is how it has always been and they took him for his words. So you mean they should push the tank or start checking guage and interrogating him. It is easy to say this because now you can see what has happened already.
stop showing your foolishness outside, my uncle owns a welding workshop and there are ways things are done, you don't wield the tank of a car immediately it is drove in, under due protocol the tank is brought down, the welder checks for remaining gasoline or PMS, drains it, allow the tank to dry off, passes flames over it to burn off any left over trace of hydrocarbons before welding, this where probably two young apprentice trying to side line there master to make peanuts before he arrives.

2 fools. You don't weld a gas tank, full or empty.

The driver should be arrested and prosecuted for murder ASAP. Most of those truck drivers especially of dangote are agents of darkness.
Is there any written procedure that says they should rely on word of mouth. Let me tell you, that driver was right when he said it is empty. He is not a professional to certify it okay for welding. Those welders also focused on sharp business rather than conducting the right diligence. I'm sure you would have poured out fuel from a keg and it appears empty to you.

Lack of safety precautions. My condolences to the bereaved families

The bad news is they are gone and never coming back. May their souls rest in perfect peace.

I am actually concerned with the family the left behind, what will be their faith? what if those guys are the bread winners of their families?

Insurance is key and has come to stay. The good but not a better thing is their families would be compensated by the company and insurance will be the one to sort that out because I believe there would be a comprehensive insurance cover on that truck.

In case you don't know, you can do as little as #1000 for life insurance, payment is annually.

About the op getting facts right.. It seem you hastily read the post so you didn't grab it in entirety. The op meant they hail from Anambra but work in Gboko Benue state.

The situation is actually a sad one.
Thanks for the clarification man.

What does the story mean by “gas tank explosion belonging to Dangote Cement”? Is it just clickbait?!

I wonder who has killed more Nigerians.

1, IGBO fake goods
2, Boko Haram
3, Fulani herdsmen
4, Dangote (trailers, factories, other accidents)

It's simply their time! When it's one's time, regardless of how wise one may have been, one may resort to doing the most stupid thing.
One can't be wiser than one's predestined end.

That said, RIP to the hardworking souls.
