Fire engulfs vehicles in Nigeria

At least 30 people have been killed after a road tanker overturned and caught fire on a busy highway between Lagos and Ibadan, say Nigerian police.
The fire engulfed three commuter buses and several cars on the road.

Some 5,000 are killed on Nigeria's notoriously dangerous roads each year.

"The fire is still burning and more bodies may still be trapped in there," a spokesman for the Federal Road Safety Corps told Reuters news agency.
