“While the incidents in Niger and Lagos were said to have reportedly claimed 48 and 3 lives respectively, the one in Ibadan left so much destruction in its trail.
All three were caused by articulated vehicles carrying petrol across different locations in the country.
I condole with all the affected families and affiliated trade unions whose members and assets may have been victims of these incidents.
I also sympathize with farmers and other travellers who constitute major victims of the incident in Niger State.
I similarly show appreciation to the officers of the Fire Service in all three states for their brave efforts in rescue and control operations.
My condolences to those who may have lost loved ones and property to the incidents, and I pray that the deceased victims meet eternal mercy.”
