President of Women Arise, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin has demanded an inquiry into the pipeline explosion that killed at least 15 victims, destroyed 50 houses and left many people injured on Sunday.

In a statement from her organization, she says, “We mourn victims of the Abule Ado explosions in Lagos on Sunday, 15th March 2020, and pray that God will console all their families in this distressful moment.

“It is a gory development that should get us worried as we continue to lose our precious citizens in avoidable circumstances.

“We demand an inquiry into this sad incident so as to get to the root cause of this great disaster.

“There must be people responsible for this incident and they must not go unpunished.

“Once again, we pray for the repose of the souls lost, wish the injured quick recovery as we also sympathize with those who lost valuable properties.”
