President Tinubu has said those that created the conditions for this sad incident to occur must be fished out and p¥ni§hed as he sends his heartfelt sympathies to victims of Ibadan explosion.
He said, I am deeply saddened by the devastating explosion that occurred in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, on Tuesday night. The explosion k#lled two persons and w%unded about 80 others. It also destr%yed several buildings, vehicles, and other properties.
It is worrisome that the cause of the blast is being attributed to the activities of illegal miners. Those behind the inexcusable and reckless behavior that has created the conditions for this sad incident to occur must be fished out and p¥nished.
I commiserate with the government and people of Oyo State and call on all concerned agencies of government to unravel the circumstances that led to this tragedy with alacrity.
I have directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to work with the Oyo State Government to offer immediate and comprehensive relief to the victims.
