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.
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.
