The Niger State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has on Sunday commiserated with the state governor, Umaru Bago and the people of the state over the tragic fuel tanker explosion that claimed several lives in Dikko junction, around the Abuja-Kaduna expressway on Saturday.

In a statement, Chairman, Most Rev. Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna assured the governor that the body of Christ and the entire Christendom in the state is in solidarity with him in the difficult times.

According to the CAN boss, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese “We are deeply saddened by the devastating incident, we stand in solidarity with the state government in this difficult time.

“To us, the explosion is worrisome, heartbreaking and unfortunate; we specifically sympathise with the Governor, and the families of the victims of the explosion.”

He further prayed to the Almighty God to grant the dead eternal rest and heal the injured.

Bishop Yohanna also commended the government’s efforts in responding to the emergency and providing support to the affected families and those still hospitalised.
