A petrol tanker fell near the Army Barracks in Onitsha yesterday, and many people rushed to scoop fuel from the spilled petrol.

Even though past incidents have led to explosions, causing loss of lives and injuries, some still take the risk.

This dangerous act has happened many times in Nigeria, yet people do not seem to learn from past tragedies. Fuel spills can easily catch fire, leading to massive explosions.

Authorities have always warned against such actions, but some individuals ignore these warnings, putting their lives at risk.

It is important for people to understand the dangers of scooping fuel from fallen tankers. Safety should always come first to prevent more disasters.
