ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s emergency response agency says a fuel tanker collided head-on with another truck causing an explosion that killed at least 48 people. The fuel tanker was also carrying cattle in the Agaie area in north-central Niger state, causing at least 50 cattle to be burned alive Sunday. That’s according to Abdullahi Baba-Arab, director-general of Niger State Emergency Management Agency. Search and rescue operations were underway at the scene of the accident, Baba-Arab added.
