Nigerian authorities have announced measures to correct lapses that resulted in the death of more than 140 people in an explosion as they were trying to scoop up fuel from an overturned fuel tanker on Wednesday.

Residents of a nearby town went to scoop up gasoline that had spilled from an overturned tanker, but then it exploded, setting off an inferno. Several similar disasters have taken place in recent years.

The driver of the tanker lost control of the vehicle, which tipped over in Nigeria’s Jigawa state. As locals rushed to retrieve the fuel, the tank exploded.
