The victims of the tanker explosion, which occurred around 8.30am, close to the GT plaza included school children and students of the nearby Kogi State Polytechnic (KSP).
It was gathered the tanker ran into another vehicle and exploded on impact, close to the GT Plaza, a fast food outlet which also serves as park for interstate private commercial vehicles.
The situation was worsened as other oncoming vehicles ran into the inferno.
School children were also affected as over ten vehicles got burnt.
Men of the Federal Road Safety Corps and fire fighters are on hand to control the situation.
