Traffic accidents involving overloaded trucks, tankers and transport vehicles are frequent in Nigeria. Archive image. Photo: Mansur Ibrahim/AP/TT
About 50 people have died in a serious traffic accident in Nigeria on Sunday. A fuel transport collided head-on with a truck, according to the country’s national rescue service.
The official death toll in the Agaie region of Niger state was 48 on Sunday night. Local media reports that the victims were immediately buried in a mass grave.
The truck was traveling from Wudil in Kano State, with a heavy load of livestock in addition to the passengers.
About 50 livestock were also burned beyond recognition in the collision with the tanker.
The head of the emergency services, Abdullahi Baba-Arab, said that 30 victims were initially found at the scene of the accident but that the death toll rose when the vehicles involved in the severe collision were examined.
Accidents involving trucks are a frequent occurrence on Nigeria’s country roads. A large part of the transport takes place on country roads as there is a lack of developed rail traffic. In addition, accidents involving tankers carrying fuel and gasoline have become a problem, according to Baba-Arab at the rescue service.
The latest statistics, according to the AP news agency, from 2020 showed that over 1,500 accidents occurred with petrol tankers, resulting in over 500 deaths.

Algeria’s incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has emerged victorious from the country’s presidential election, receiving nearly 95 percent of the vote.
Electoral Commission Chairman Mohamed Charfi says that “the election was characterized by extensive transparency” and “reflected the people’s attitude to elections”.
– Of the 5,630,000 votes cast, 5,320,000 votes went to the independent candidate Tebboune, Charfi said in a statement that was delayed three hours for unknown reasons.
Exact data on turnout was missing when the electoral commission Anie announced the results. In the past, the opposition has boycotted elections.
The main opponents were the moderate Islamist Abdelaali Hassani and the socialist candidate Youcef Aouchiche.
In the 2019 election, only 40 percent of those eligible to vote in Algeria voted.

Iraq and the United States have agreed on a timetable for how and when all foreign military forces fighting Islamist militant groups must leave the country.
This is stated by Iraq’s Minister of Defense Thabet al-Abbassi in the Saudi television channel al-Hadath.
According to him, the international coalition will leave bases in most of Iraq in September 2025 and in Kurdistan a year later.
Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani demanded at New Year that the forces leave the country, but months of talks between Iraq and the United States have so far appeared fruitless.
This summer, the US warned that IS is trying to re-establish itself in the region. The terrorist movement claimed in July that it was behind a total of 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria during 2024.
The international forces in Iraq have been in place since 2014 to, among other things, fight the terrorist movement IS. The US has around 2,500 soldiers in Iraq and 900 in Syria as part of the operation.
A car has collided with a cow in Tolånga in Sjöbo.
The accident happened at 8 p.m.
After the collision, the car drove into a stream.
According to the police, the driver is out of the car. There are no reports of personal injuries.
“The owner of the cow is taking care of the animal,” the police write on their website.
Earlier this year, a 35-year-old Swedish man was sentenced to death for drug offenses in Iraq.
Now the sentence is reduced to 11 years, according to information TV4 News.
It was in June this year that the man was sentenced to be hanged.
Three more Swedes were sentenced to death in Iraq earlier this year. At the moment, there is no new information on when Iraq plans to carry out the punishment.
Iraq’s death penalty has received severe criticism from the Swedish government and the Foreign Ministry.
