Burn specialist Dr. Olubunmi Aderibigbe from University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital told transport union members to quit hauling extra petrol in their rides after 441 people died from road fires last year. The Nigerian Burn Injuries Society member said keeping fuel jerrycans at home or stashing gas in vehicles kills way more people than it helps, and he pushed everyone to grab fire extinguishers instead of acting invincible.
Aderibigbe broke down how heat plus oxygen plus fuel creates disasters, and drivers need to separate those elements before tankers flip or generators spark house fires. He told people to stop using phone flashlights near gas pumps and never scoop spilled fuel when tankers crash on highways.
