The lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal Constituency, Tolulope Akande Sadipe, has described Tuesday’s explosion in Ibadan city as tragic, adding that relevant authorities must bring the perpetrators to book.

 

Akande-Sadipe, who chairs the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges, said the tragic explosion which shook Ibadan, is sad,  noting that the avoidable incident, has left the community in mourning, with fatalities and loss of properties.

 

Akande Sadipe extends her thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, recognising  the immense pain and sorrow that accompanies such tragedy.

 

She said she stands in unwavering solidarity with the community during this challenging time,  emphasising the need for collective support within the community.

 

Akande-Sadipe urged relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the causes of the explosion.
