Those injured in Saturday’s blast are currently being treated at a nearby hospital, the emergency management agency said.
Nigeria has seen several similar incidents in recent months.
Two weeks ago, a fuel tanker involved in an accident exploded in the oil-rich Delta state, killing at least five people, and at least 153 others died in an explosion while trying to collect the leaked gasoline in October.
Fuel prices have increased by more than 400% in the last 18 months following bold economic policies by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, including the removal of long-standing fuel subsidies.
The changes have plunged millions of people into poverty, and many have been forced to resort to desperate measures to survive.
The government says its policies are aimed at strengthening the economy.
