NGF Mourns 105 Lives Lost in Jigawa Tanker Explosion
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has expressed profound sorrow over the tragic loss of 105 lives in a tanker explosion that occurred in Majiya, Jigawa State. In a statement from the NGF, Chairman AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq extended heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families and the people of Jigawa. He emphasized the need for enhanced safety measures when handling flammable materials and urged citizens to refrain from collecting fuel from spills due to the inherent dangers.
The forum’s statement highlighted the urgency for better safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. The explosion happened late Tuesday night when the tanker driver lost control of the vehicle near Khadija University. The situation became more tragic as individuals attempted to scoop fuel, which led to the significant loss of life. The NGF called for reflection on these events and offered prayers for the families affected by this devastating incident.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
