Jalingo youths were seen on Wednesday in their numbers, scooping fuel from a fallen fuel laden tanker at Mile 6 Market along Jalingo – Numan Road despite recent reports of such explosions killing a number of people in some parts of the country.

The tanker was involved in an accident at Mile 6 Roundabout, directly beside the market at about 11:45 am.

Though most of the market men and women rushed to close their shops for fear of fire explosion, youths within the area were seen trooping out of their houses with cans and buckets, scooping fuel leaking from the fallen tanker.

It took intervention of men of the NSCDC, who drove to the scene to chase away the youths with many youths already taken away hundreds of litres before the arrival of the security men.
