"My heart goes out to the people and government of Niger State in this dark hour.


I'm deeply saddened by the devastating tanker tragedy that occurred on Saturday, along the Minna-Suleja highway in Niger State. According to eyewitnesses and news reports, the tanker, which was carrying premium motor spirit (PMS), lost control and exploded, resulting in a massive fire that engulfed several vehicles and nearby buildings.


The incident has left a trail of destruction and despair in its wake, with multiple lives lost and many more injured. Reports from the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), Channels and other verifiable authorities indicate that at least numerous people lost their lives in the disaster, while many others sustained various degrees of injury.




As the Oba of Isheri Olofin Kingdom, I feel a deep sense of loss and sorrow. It's a tragedy that no one should ever have to experience. I can only imagine the pain and grief that the families of the victims must be going through.


I want to extend my sincerest condolences to the families of the victims, the government, and the people of Niger State. May the Almighty grant you the strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.


May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may we all learn from this tragedy to be more vigilant and proactive in preventing such incidents in the future.



I also urge the relevant authorities to take swift action to support the affected families and to prevent such incidents from occurring again.


I stands with you in this moment of grief."

The provisional insight provided by the State Assembly reveals a disturbing pattern of misconduct by Jelili, including: - Non-compliance with directives from the Lagos State House of Assembly - Mismanagement of public funds - Disregard for procurement processes Most alarmingly, the pandemonium that broke out in April 2024, resulting in the tragic death of Micheal Ajayi, was linked to Jelili's actions.
