In a press statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, President Buhari said he was greatly shaken and shocked by such large-scale loss of human lives in a single industrial accident, which casts a gloom on the families of the victims “who were looking forward to a joyous Christmas celebration.”

The police said eight people died in the incident but reports suggest the casualty was much higher.

The President extended his condolences to the families of the victims, the people and the government of Anambra State over what he described as “this unfortunate tragedy on Christmas eve”, adding that “my heart and prayers go out to these grieving families at this difficult and painful moment.”

Meanwhile, President Buhari has also condoled the Lamido of Adamawa, Barkindo Mustapha, over the death of his mother, Adda Gombeji, who passed away at the age of 87.
