President Bola Tinubu has expressed sadness over the devastating explosion that occurred on Tuesday night in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
A statement signed by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale on Wednesday indicated that the explosion killed two persons and wounded about 80 others.
It also destroyed several buildings, vehicles, and other properties.
“It is worrisome that the cause of the blast is being attributed to the activities.
“Those behind the inexcusable and reckless behaviour that has created the conditions for the sad incident to occur must be fished out and punished,” the President said.
Tinubu commiserated with the government and people of Oyo State and called on all concerned agencies of government to unravel the circumstances that led to the tragedy.
The President further directed the National Emergency Management Agency to work with the Oyo State Government to offer immediate and comprehensive relief to the victims.
