The “unfortunate incident” also got “about 50 cattle burnt”.
According to former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi: “I have just read the disheartening reports of the deadly tanker explosion which occurred today at Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State where no fewer than 30 human lives were lost and about 50 cattle burnt.
This unfortunate incident is occurring less than 24 hours after a similar tanker explosion caused serious damages in Ibadan, Oyo state capital on Saturday. I am pained by the loss of human lives, and other means of livelihood in the two tragic events.
I thank the safety and emergency agencies that arrived the scene for search and rescue operations.
I sincerely condole with all the affected families who lost their loved ones to this tragedy. I equally commiserate with the government and people of Niger and Oyo States over this tragic occurrence. May God comfort them, and all of us, who share in the pains of this sad incidents in our nation.
I pray God Almighty to forgive the sins of the dead and grant them eternal rest, and grant quick and full recovery to the injured.”
