Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 20 people sustained various degrees of injuries following a tanker explosion at a petrol station in the Rigasa area of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

Mr Paul Aboi, Director of Kaduna State Fire Service, made this known in an interview with NAN on Thursday in Kaduna.<\/p>\n

Aboi said among those injured were five federal firefighters, some personnel of Kaduna Vigilance Service and passers-by.<\/p>\n

The director said the injured fire service personnel are currently receiving treatment at the Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital, Kaduna.<\/p>\n

According to him, the tanker was offloading petrol at the station on Wednesday when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

Aboi blamed the incident on negligence on the part of the filling station, saying the offloading of the petrol shouldn\u2019t have been done in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
