Explosion Claims Dozens of Lives in Nigeria

Dozens of people have lost their lives in Nigeria due to the explosion of a tanker carrying gasoline. Authorities in the West African country have reported the death toll has risen to seventy, with many others injured. The majority of victims were impoverished residents who rushed to collect spilled gasoline.

This incident follows a similar tragedy in October where over 170 people lost their lives. Such accidents occur frequently in Africa's largest oil producer, where the cost of living has drastically increased. The price of gasoline has multiplied fivefold in eighteen months.
