The viral photos and videos showing where petrol loaded in jerrycans were distributed as souvenirs during a party has attracted the attention of the Lagos State government.
The state government in a reaction on Saturday through the Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso said the development will be investigated.
He pointed out that having jerrycans of petrol as souvenirs is a dangerous development which contradicts safety standards and is capable of causing harm to lives and property.
Mr. Omotoso added that the safety of the people of Lagos remains a top priority to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“There is no doubt that this action is dangerous and can lead to loss of lives and property. It is blatantly against all safety measures in such places,” he said.
The safety of lives and properties of Lagosians and visitors remain a top priority to the Governor @jidesanwoolu administration. We, therefore, advise that actions that can lead to loss of lives and properties be avoided,” the commissioner added.
