Buhari Orders Investigation Into Jos Gas Explosion

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday in Abuja directed a thorough investigation into the chlorine gas explosion in Jos, Plateau.
The explosion which occurred on July 25, 2015 had claimed no fewer than eight lives and 112 others receiving treatment in four different hospitals in Jos.
In a message of commiseration to the families of the victims, government and people of the state, the president said an investigation into the incident was necessary to avoid a recurrence.
“The investigation should unravel the fact as to whether this was just an accident.
“Whatever is the case, we need to get to the bottom of this unfortunate and tragic incident,’’ the president said.
Buhari prayed that Allah should grant the souls of those who lost their souls in the explosion peaceful repose and grant quick recovery to the injured.
