Not less than 70 persons have reportedly been injured in two different fire incidents that gutted al-ihsan filling station in Kano.
The persons were said to include eight firefighters, passerby and residents.
They were said to have sustained various degrees of burns in a fire accident at a filling station Saturday, May 23 evening in Kano state, northwest Nigeria.
According to an eyewitness, the fire incident at Al-Ihsan filling station started around 4:30 p.m WAT when a tanker was discharging premium motor spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol, to a reservoir in the station.
The fire was initially controlled by firefighters before one of them mistakenly opened the lid of the tanker leading to a massive explosion that burnt more than 50 people including onlookers and passers-by.
Footage of the incident released by Freedom Radio in Kano shows hundreds of onlookers watching the fire raging before a massive explosion that caused a stampede.
