The Aare Ona Kakanfo, Gani Adams has called on the Federal Government to launch a proactive investigation into the recent blasts which occurred in three South-West States.
He said the incidences were beyond ordinary blast as claimed by government.
Adams made the appeal on Sunday in a statement while reacting to the latest blast in Akure, Ondo State Capital, declaring that Yorubas were not convinced that it was an ordinary blast, but suspected it to be bomb blast, which must be duly investigated.
He said, it was unfortunate that such incidences were coming at this trying period of coronavirus across the globe, emphasising that, investigation at his disposal had it that, those behind the bomb blast were now targeting other South-West States, hence the need for all fovernors and indigenes to be at alert.
“We are not convinced that, all these are ordinary blasts, but a bomb and therefore it is important and necessary for government to carry out proactive investigation on these incidents which occurred in the spate of three weeks in Lagos, Ekiti and Ondo States,” Adams declared.
Adams buttressing his claim, with the Lagos blast, saying from records, a pipeline fire was expected to burn houses, and not uprooting houses from foundation as it occurred in Lagos, adding that, in view of that, it was beyond pipeline bust, but bomb blast.
He also posited that the Ekiti incident was of the same pattern, which should not be attributed to ordinary blast, stressing that the incidences were becoming rampant in South-West, and that there was therefore need for government not to fold its arm, before things got out of hand.
