Bodija Estate Residents Association (BERA) has raised the alarm that nine residents of the area had been missing since last week’s Ibadan explosion which claimed many lives and property.
The president of the association, Muyiwa Bamgbose, declared that they had been looking for nine residents of the area since the incident occurred.
He said this was based on their findings while collating the data of the residents and the number of affected houses.
He said, “It is now towards eight or nine people that have been missing.
“We have brought the map of the street and we are trying to account for house by house, that is how we can actually get an accurate figure.
“If a person was seen yesterday and you cannot find him today, then you know you need to get worried. I think it is now more towards eight and nine persons, or even 10, whom those in the neighborhood have talked about,” Bamgbose told newsmen after their consultative meeting.
“We took the map of the street to the government and tried to account for people, house by house to get accurate information.
BERA, an umbrella body of all communities in Bodija, also called for massive assistance for victims of the explosion to get back their lives.
It stressed the need for continuous care and support for victims whose lives had changed unexpectedly since the incident.
