Women Arise for Change Initiative, an NGO, on Monday urged Lagos State and Federal Government to carry out a proper investigation into Sunday’s explosion in Abule Ado area of the state.

Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, the group’s President, said in a statement that a proper investigation would uncover facts and those behind the evil act.

Over 50 buildings were destroyed and no fewer than 18 people died in the incidence which occurred in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos.

Okei-Odumakin said: “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,” she said.

She described the action as a gory development that should get everyone worried, adding that people should not be losing lives in avoidable circumstances as this.

Okei-Odumakin, therefore, prayed God to console the families currently in distressful moment. (NAN)
