Investigation into last
week’s blast in Ibadan has taken a higher dimension with the involvement of National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu.
The ongoing investigation and forensic analysis are spearheaded by the Oyo State government.
It was learnt that Ribadu, will visit the blast site in Bodija on 22nd of January for an on-the-spot assessment and to take a direct briefing from the state government and its investigators.
This will enable Ribadu to decide on how the office of the NSA will collaborate with them.
Also the Minister Solid Minerals Development Dele Alake visited Ibadan on Monday. The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Solid Minerals, is waiting for the outcome of the forensic investigation ordered to ascertain the actual cause of the tragic explosion that rocked Ibadan, Oyo State capital last week.
Thereafter, the minister sent condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and other victims. The minister also commended the Oyo State Government for mobilising relief response.
The minister assures Nigerians that the Federal Government is committed to addressing challenges from the root, hence its resolve to await the outcome of painstaking forensic investigations on the Ibadan explosion before making a definite pronouncement.
