For the residents of Obosi, a suburb of the commercial city of Onitsha, Friday was a very sad day as a mass burial was organized by the Anambra State Government for 32 unclaimed bodies of victims of the tragic fuel tanker explosion that took place at Upper Iweka, May.



The Ceremony commenced with a 21 gun-salute in honor of the dead, which then proceeded with an inter-denominational service held at the Anglican Bishop on the Niger.





Bible passages were read and a deep and solemn exhortations that highlighted the fickleness of life and the need for the living to ensure that they are in the good book of their creator at all times, the victims were committed to mother earth in the Obosi Cemetery.



Governor Obiano recalled that in swift response to the incident, his administration had taken pragmatic measures against future recurrence – such measures include a ban on fuel-carrying tankers and trucks from plying state roads as well as a restriction of motorcyclists from plying the state major highway.

The governor described the accident as a very big tragedy which befell the state.



The governor revealed that his government is working in collaboration with relevant agencies to ensure safety on the state roads, While also urging the motoring public to embrace safety habits and to always ensure that their vehicles are in good shape before they set out for the highways.

May their souls rest in peace.

We noticed another tanker fell in the Enugu - Okigwe road in IMO State and people were rushing and scooping the petrol while policemen were just watching from a safe distance.

We had to tell the bus driver to speed fast before the tanker will explode.

Petrol is 100 - 120 in the east, the only NNPC mega station selling normal price in Enugu had a long queue.

God bless their souls

Rip
