    Vice President Kashim Shettima has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic tanker explosion that occurred in Karu, Abuja, on Wednesday night, claiming multiple lives and leaving many others injured.

    Speaking in Abuja on Friday, Shettima extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, assuring them of the Federal Government’s support during this difficult time.

    In a statement issued on Friday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said, “My deepest condolences go out to the families who have lost their loved ones in this tragedy.

    “No words can adequately express the sorrow we feel for your loss. The Federal Government stands with you in this difficult time,” the Vice President stated.

    He also conveyed his prayers for the injured, emphasizing the government’s commitment to their recovery.

    “To those currently receiving treatment in various medical facilities, I pray for your swift and complete recovery,” he said.

    Shettima commended the swift response of emergency services, including the Federal Road Safety Corps, the Red Cross, the Fire Service, security agencies, and other first responders, for their prompt action in rescuing victims and providing medical aid.

    Highlighting the importance of road safety, he called for stricter adherence to regulations to prevent future tragedies.

    Meanwhile, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, directed a thorough investigation into the incident and extended his condolences to the victims’ families.

    He also ordered priority medical care for the injured and instructed security agencies to enhance traffic monitoring, particularly at Abuja’s entry and exit points.

    The President prayed for the souls of the departed and asked for divine comfort for the grieving families.
