Ogun State Governor, @DapoAbiodunCON has expressed great sympathy for the victims of a gas explosion at the Ita-Oshin area of Abeokuta, the state capital around 5pm today.

According to reports, there was a fire incident at about 5pm caused by a lone accident of a gas truck with the inscription Gasco Marine Bar 250 at Ita Oshin junction a few metres from the roundabout.

The truck, moving inward Abeokuta, lost control and ran into the road pavement before it eventually stopped.

The driver fled the scene while the truck boy lost his life. His mutilated remains have been deposited at the General Hospital, Ijaiye.

It was gathered that four parked vehicles were burnt to ashes. The inferno also affected five shops, with one completely burnt.

Four trucks from the Federal and the Ogun State Fire Services were on the ground to put out the inferno.

Governor Abiodun, in a statement on Saturday night, regretted the loss of life in the inferno and the attendant destruction of properties.

He, however, called for calm, assuring that everything was being done to put the situation under control.

He said: "I am deeply saddened by the tragic gas explosion that occurred in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Saturday, which led to the loss of an innocent life and destruction of properties. This is a devastating incident that has brought pain and anguish to many families.

"On behalf of the government and people of Ogun State, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of the lone victim of this tragic incident. My prayers are with them during this difficult time.

"I also wish to express my sympathy to those who suffered damage to their businesses."

The governor praised the quick intervention of relevant agencies of government and first responders, which brought the situation under control.

Governor Abiodun noted that relevant authorities have been mandated to ascertain the cause of the explosion and ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent a recurrence.

Too bad

Don't just express sympathy. Investigate the general and unique causes and put in effective, institutional controls to forestall a repeat. Africans are too emotional, and some mental weaklings may already have begun rejoicing over the governor's empty commiserations statement.

Why are many blaming him?

The infrastructural deficit in Ogun is more than what the IGR and other earnings in Ogun state can alleviate!

Ogun is Lagos X 4.7 in size!

But I agree he needed to take urgent steps...

God punish you dapo

Clueless man

Rip to the dead

DAPO SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED IN A WORKING STATE.


I CAN'T LAY HAND ON TWO TANGIBLE THINGS HE DID IN OGUN STATE SINCE AMOSUN LEFT.


SANGO SUPPOSE DON KEE AM

Oga governor go and fix the road , other infrastructure and stop sympathizing. I wonder if there is government in ogun state, they have produced two Nigeria president and 1 Nigeria vice president. I can comfortably choose osun state as a more habitable state than ogun state.
Then, there should be a review on all these new sets of Chinese trucks plying our roads, cause of recent am only seeing GAC trucks, sino trucks, Dongfeng trucks etc on the road. They need to check the durability, performance, handling cause I saw a driver that was driving the sino truck dump tipper type, and was trying to engage the gear for it to move forward, the engine RPM and HP was too much that the truck nearly crashed into the CAT bulldozer that was loading him.
