Victims of Saturday’s fire incident at the popular Araromi spare parts market in Ibadan, Oyo State, have bemoaned their loss of multimillion naira goods to the inferno.
Wemimo appealed to the government, non-governmental organisations and well-meaning individuals in society for help.
She noted, “We are lucky to have a few people who have been giving us between N500 and N1, 000 to feed. We have our families and we are thankful that we didn’t lose our lives but beyond that, one can fall into depression with the huge losses.” “Citizens are encouraged through our mediums and publicity jingles not to burn bushes at this period, sleep while candles are on and ensure to switch off electronic appliances while leaving the home or offices.”
He stated that there was a need for Nigerians to be careful, saying the fuel truck probably lacked maintenance. He said, “The trucks are not maintained regularly, especially in the right way it ought to be done.” Some of the eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the truck belongs to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited.
