Petrol Tanker Fire Burns Scores to Death in Onitsha No fewer than 69 persons burnt to death Sunday evening when a trailer loaded with Premium Motor Spirit otherwise known as petrol that was descending from Army barracks side of Onitsha Enugu express way lost control and rammed into the Asaba Motor Park at Upper Iweka, Onitsha and exploded. Reports say eleven vehicles mostly commuter buses and two motorcycles inside the Asaba Park Onitsha including the 40 foot tanker laden with petrol burnt beyond repairs inside the park. Governor Willie Obiano who immediately rushed to the scene of the accident, on hearing it, wept on seeing the number of casualties. The Governor told the relations of the victims to take heart and promised that the state will help in ensuring that the living victims are well taken care of in their respective hospitals According to the Nigerian Red Cross Society Chairman, Prof Peter Emeka Kathy “we have sixty nine burnt to dead persons as at now, there are other 30 casualties, a casualty is a living person, a dead person is no longer a casualty, so 69 persons are dead, and they have bee evaluated to various mortuary in Onitsha, from Toronto to St Charles Boromneo Mortuaries and others in town”.

Does he need to weep? No! A lil bit of proactive leadership would have saved this unfortunate 69 lives. Just remove EVERY type of park in and around that upper iweka vicinity and ban trailers carrying containers or oil related products from entering Anambra before 9 o'clock in the evening and to stop at 6 am! Then commence a vigourous stop , search and check on the road worthiness of these vehicles, the alcohol levels of the drivers and lorry particulars! Run these measures for a year and come back to us with a result that will make everybody smile rather than weeping helplessly when the authority to do something and stop the mess is with you. 4 Likes |

Activa:who told you that weeping is the only thing he'll do? Does weeping stop him from do what he's supposed to do? Or does weeping last more than a minute? Don't weep if your mom dies,just proceed to buying coffin and trying to bury her to show how much you her death has no effect on you,a governor is like the father of his people,if the tears come out from his eyes for losing so many people,is he at fault again? |
