On Sunday, Governor Dapo Abiodun, of Ogun State instructed the evacuation of residents from several buildings affected by Saturday’s gas explosion in the Ita-Oshin locality of the Abeokuta North Local Government Area.

Abiodun pledged that the state would cover the hospital expenses for those affected by the incidents, and individuals whose properties were damaged would receive compensation.

He said: “As a responsible state government, our emergency management team has taken stock of all those businesses, and residences that have been affected by this unfortunate incident.

“What has happened yesterday throws up a lot of far-ranging questions. The issues around safety, regulation, roadworthiness of the modes of transportation, and the required regulatory oversight for the entire industry must be looked into.

“Are these issues happening at the same speed as the industry is progressing? This would allow us to better understand and answer those questions.

“I have directed those one or two buildings be evacuated until our regulatory agency that is in charge does the required integrity test on those buildings, to ensure that they are safe for our people to continue to live in there.

“We also take this opportunity to assure our stakeholders that we strictly adhere to all safety standards. We remain committed to continuously strengthening our health and safety policies to prevent such unfortunate incidents from occurring in the future.”

The suspect who was arraigned before Magistrate R.I. Adelakin, on Tuesday, March 12, 2025, suddenly put up a strange behaviour in court by refusing to alter any word and looking weird.

However, when the charges were about to be read to him, Daniel started shouting awkwardly, throwing the audience into confusion, thus altering proceedings.

The defendant, who was just dramatising, turned his back to the court and ran outside displaying full madness.

He removed his clothes and str!pped himself nak3d, as he began to eat dried leaves and nylons.

The suspect’s strange display caught the attention of people present at the court premises, though nobody could move closer to him, including his mother.

The suspect, whose address was not given, was charged to court by the police on a single charge of threat to life.

The prosecutor, Inspector Folashade Adeyemi, said on March 10, in Akure, the defendant threatened the life of one Alexandral Udokwu and attacked him with a broken bottle.

The offence contravenes Section 86 of the Criminal Code Law of Ondo State, 2006.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari of enabling unprecedented levels of corruption, specifically criticizing the presidential pardons granted to ex-governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, both convicted of embezzlement.

Obasanjo alleged that former Attorney General Abubakar Malami played a key role in these pardons, suggesting that the process was influenced by corruption.

In response, Malami dismissed these claims, stating that the pardon process is governed by a designated committee responsible for such decisions, and his role was limited to presenting the committee’s report to the Council of State.

Malami emphasized that allegations of corruption should be substantiated with specific evidence, criticizing the trend of baseless accusations against public officials.

The Federal Government also refuted Obasanjo’s criticisms, defending the Buhari administration’s record on anti-corruption efforts and infrastructure projects.
