At least 147 people died after a fuel tanker exploded in Nigeria.
A fuel tanker exploded overnight in northern Nigeria, killing at least 147 people who rushed to the scene of the accident to collect leaking petrol.
The fire engulfed the overturned vehicle, which had been cordoned off by officers after it crashed.
About 100 other people injured in the explosion have been taken to hospital.
Officers had warned people not to approach the tanker after the accident late on Tuesday night, but they were unable to contain the growing crowd.
