Following the explosion that rocked some parts of the Ibadan metropolis, particularly Bodija, on Tuesday, a call was made to the Oyo State Government to look into the licencing and storage of explosives in the state.
The call was made by the President of Ogbomoso Recreation Club, Dr Akin Oladeji-Johnbrown, while reacting to the incident in a telephone conversation with the Nigerian Tribune on Wednesday.
Oladeji-Johnbrown noted that doing this will ensure proper handling of these explosives and guarantee the safety of lives and properties.
He also called for a holistic review of the current explosive and gas sites in Oyo State, which is very important to prevent and mitigate future occurrences.
He commended the proactive support of the government and security agencies while sympathising with those whose properties were lost and injured as a result of the unfortunate incident.
