Death toll of tanker explosion in Nigeria rises to 11
Abuja - Muslimchronicle
Death toll has risen to 11 in an explosion which erupted following a road accident involving a tanker in Nigeria's southwestern state of Osun, the local road safety police said on Tuesday.
Anthony Oko, a road safety police commander, confirmed to reporters that one of the two injured casualties had died while receiving treatment at a government health facility.
An 18-seater Toyota Hiace bus on a road trip from a neighboring state had rammed into a moving tanker near Ife Town, in Osun State on Sunday. This caused the content of the tanker to spill over, causing the explosion.
Ten people were earlier reported to have died on the spot.
It was a lateral crash involving all 12 passengers in the 18-seater bus.
The road safety police said investigation indicated that the accident was caused by "impatience and excessive speeding by the driver of the commuter bus and a wrong U-turn drive by the truck driver."

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
