President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness after at least nine persons were burned alive.
Thursday’s fuel-tanker explosion is one of the greatest tragedies in recent times in Nigeria.
He expressed his condolences to the government and people of Lagos State on the tragedy.
“Sadly, this seems to be one of the greatest tragedies we have seen in recent times,” Buhari said.
The President urged the emergency services and law enforcement officials to do their best to limit the losses and damage from the incident.
Buhari said the priority now should be how to save those people who could still be in danger.
