President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday expressed
deep regret over the death of tens of people in Anambra State, following
an industrial gas explosion a few hours before the Christmas celebration.
No fewer
than 100 persons on Thursday died in the gas plant explosion in Nnewi, Nnewi
Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to
residents of Nnewi, several buildings, over 60 vehicles and more than 50
motorcycles were burnt beyond recognition in the disaster, where more than 20
other people sustained injuries.
In a
statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu,
the President said he was greatly shaken and shocked by such large-scale loss
of human lives in a single industrial accident, which casts a gloom
on the families of the victims “who were looking forward to a joyous Christmas
celebration.”
The
President extended his condolences to the families of the victims, the people
and the government of Anambra State over what he described as an “unfortunate
tragedy on Christmas Eve.”
“My heart
and prayers go out to these grieving families at this difficult and painful
moment,” the President said.
