On January 22, 2025, a fuel tanker accident occurred at Mile 6 in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, resulting in residents gathering to scoop the spilled fuel.
Security personnel, including officers from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the police, promptly arrived to disperse the crowd and prevent potential hazards. The driver of the tanker sustained injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.
This incident highlights the recurring danger associated with fuel scooping in Nigeria. Just days earlier, a tragic tanker explosion in Niger State claimed nearly 100 lives, underscoring the lethal risks of such activities.
Authorities continue to warn the public against engaging in fuel scooping due to the high risk of explosions and loss of life.
