The member representing Egor Ikpoba-Okha federal constituency in the National Assembly, Honourable Murphy Osaro Omoruyi, has expressed deep sadness over the unfortunate incident at the Ologbo axis of the Benin- Sapele- Warri Express Road, where several persons lost their lives following the inferno that erupted when a petrol tanker laden with products lost control and overturned.
Hon. Omoruyi, who was sorely touched by the Ologbo tanker explosion, prayed the Lord to grant parents and relatives of the victims the fortitude to bear the loss.
While grieving, the federal lawmaker stressed that such unfortunate carnage could be averted if the road was in good condition.
In a statement, Hon. Omoruyi said, “As your representative, I will continue to push for the urgent rehabilitation of the Benin- Sapele-Warri Express Road to put to an end situations like this.”
The lawmaker equally enjoined people to be wary of such situations by avoiding the temptation of going to scoop fuel whenever petrol tankers fall.
The petrol tanker explosion occured in the early hours of Sunday, October 1st aftermath of the crash of some vehicles plying the route.
