President Bola Tinubu has ordered a probe into the Abuja Tanker Explosion, incident that resulted in multiple deaths and at Karu, Abuja.
He also ordered priority treatment in medical facilities in Abuja, for persons injured in the tragic Wednesday explosion.
his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed the directive in a statement he signed Thursday titled, ‘President Tinubu directs investigation into tanker explosion in Karu, sympathises with victims.’
It would be recalled that on Wednesday night, a tragic tanker explosion rocked the Karu area of Abuja, leading to multiple accidents and the loss of several lives.
Preliminary reports suggest that brake failure and poor road conditions contributed to the explosion, though further details are expected upon completion of the official probe.
In the immediate aftermath, Tinubu ordered a thorough investigation, instructing the relevant authorities to determine the root causes and recommend strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Onanuga stated, “The President condoled with family members who lost loved ones in the inferno, which happened at the peak hour.
“President Tinubu ordered priority treatment of the injured in various medical facilities in the capital city.
“The President directed security agencies, particularly those concerned with road safety, to pay closer attention to traffic around the capital city’s entry and exit points.”
He prayed for the souls of the departed and the grace of the Almighty God to comfort families that have lost their loved ones.
