The explosion occurred on Friday, July 8, 2022.

The victims, who were National Diploma graduates of PTI, Comrade Omare Sunny and Comrade Godstime Chuks, from Mechanical Engineering department and Petroleum Engineering department respectively, lost their lives in the disaster.

The Student Union Government (SUG) of PTI made this known in a statement mourning the deceased.

While Matrix Energy had released a statement, claiming there were no casualties and Delta State government in its preliminary report had on Saturday disclosed that no death was recorded by the company while confirming that 12 persons were injured and receiving treatment at the Ogiame Ikenwoli Hospital, Ubeji, the PTI SUG, in its statement, urged Matrix to debunk the “misguided information” and reach out to the family of the deceased students.
