Reacting to the deaths of tens of people who died after an illegal refinery exploded on Friday night at Abaezi forest in the Ohaji-Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, the President described the incident as painful, adding that it must be stopped once and for all.
Buhari in a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, said that the incident is a national disaster, stressing that security agencies should not fold their arms at this trying period in the country.
He maintained that the responsibility for the loss of lives and property must squarely lie with the sponsors of the illegal refinery, who must all be caught and made to face justice.
He urged community leaders, the police, and the secret service to never allow the occurrence of the heart-breaking incident in any part of the country again.
