No fewer than 20 individuals sustained various degrees of injuries as a result of a tanker explosion at a petrol station in the Rigasa area of Kaduna State.

Aboi revealed that the injured individuals included five federal firefighters, several members of the Kaduna Vigilance Service, and passers-by. The injured fire service personnel are currently receiving medical treatment at the Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital in Kaduna.
