Eleven petrol tankers were on Tuesday destroyed as fire razed Unguwan Mu’azu garage in Kaduna South local government area.
Executive Secretary, Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA) Abdulahi Hassan, confirmed the incident.
He said the fire incident also led to the discovery of several illegal activities in the area.
Hassan said: “It is unfortunate that people living in the area do not know the danger associated with the illegal movement of petroleum products,” he said, adding that the agency would investigate the involvement of members of the community in such activities that probably caused the fire.
“It is important to note that with this discovery, the Agency will commence the assessment of the area as part of its mandate in ensuring public safety so we can advise the government on what we need to do to distance people from this kind of risk.”
