Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, extended her heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Jigawa State in response to the devastating petrol tanker explosion that occurred in Majiya town, Taura Local Government Area.
The tragic incident, which took place on October 16, 2024, claimed the lives of over 90 individuals, leaving several others injured and causing widespread destruction.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Oluremi Tinubu expressed her deep sorrow over the loss of lives, offering her prayers for those affected.
She called on Almighty Allah to grant the departed eternal rest in Aljanah Firdaus and to provide comfort to those mourning their loved ones.
The First Lady specifically addressed the Governor of Jigawa State, Mallam Umar Namadi, acknowledging his leadership during this difficult time. She expressed solidarity with him and the entire state, noting the magnitude of the tragedy that has befallen the community.
Oluremi Tinubu remarked on the profound loss not only of lives but also of properties and livelihoods, emphasizing that the effects of the incident would be felt for a long time.
She went further to urge the people of Jigawa to remain strong in the face of adversity, calling on both state and federal authorities to continue providing support to the victims and their families.
The First Lady also extended her prayers for the speedy recovery of those who were injured, urging that they receive the necessary medical attention to regain their health.
Reflecting on the impact of the explosion, she expressed her hope that measures would be put in place to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Additionally, she underscored the importance of unity and support during this period of mourning, encouraging Nigerians from all walks of life to offer their assistance in any way they could.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
