Lokpobri, who expressed deep sorrow over the tragic petrol tanker explosion, also admonished Nigerians to desist from approaching vehicles transporting petroleum products that have been involved in accidents or mechanical failures.

“The minister has directed the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to immediately commence a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident,” his special adviser on media and communications, Nneamaka Okafor, said in a statement on Wednesday.
