President Bola Tinubu has directed a thorough investigation into the tanker explosion that resulted in multiple accidents and the loss of lives in Karu, Abuja, on Wednesday night.

A statement issued on Thursday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), disclosed this and noted that the President also extended his condolences to the families of those who lost loved ones in the inferno, which occurred during peak hours.

President Tinubu ordered priority treatment for the injured in various medical facilities across the capital city.

The President directed security agencies, particularly those responsible for road safety, to pay closer attention to traffic around the capital city’s entry and exit points.

President Tinubu prayed for the souls of the departed and asked for the grace of Almighty God to comfort the families who have lost their loved ones.
