Death toll rises to 86 from gasoline tanker blast in central Nigeria
Nigeria's emergency agency said the death toll from a weekend gasoline tanker explosion in north central Niger state has risen to 86. Explosions that kill dozens who converge on crashed tanker trucks to scoop up spilled fuel have been common for years in Nigeria, and the problem is only becoming worse.
Nigerian rescuers on Monday raised the toll from the explosion of a petrol tanker truck that killed people rushing to gather fuel from 86 to 98.
