70 people have died in Anambra state after a fuel tanker and five commuter buses were involved in an accident. The fuel tanker is said to have overturned after hitting a pothole, spilling fuel across the road, when a car crashed into it causing an explosion that engulfed the buses.


Several other people were badly wounded and are in critical condition in hospitals. It's been said the death toll could rise as more remains of victims are recovered.
