Yemi Alade, Rita Dominic, others react to gas explosion in Lagos

Entertainers have reacted to the gas explosion that occurred in the Abule Ado area of Amuwo Odofin, Lagos on Sunday morning, March 15.

Yemi Alade and Rita Dominic led some Nigerian entertainers that took to their social handles to sympathise with victims and their families.

“Condolences to the families of those we lost in the pipeline explosion yesterday morning. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. God help and bless Nigeria,” the singing sensation wrote.

In the same vein, pretty Rita Dominic said, “My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of Abule Ado, Festac explosion. May God be with them at this difficult time and may the souls of those who lost their lives rest in peace.”

Joining the conversation, Peter Okoye aka Mr P said, “In the last couple of hours, having seen videos and sent messages about the explosion in Abule Ado, Amuwo Odofin LGA, my heart bleeds and I hope the first responders were able to get there on time. I’m particularly concerned about the students of the Bethlehem Girls Catholic School that’s been ravaged by this unfortunate incident.

“I’m appealing to the necessary organizations and individuals in charge to do their best to save as many lives as possible and I’m willing to assist in any way I can as well.”

Also lending her voice to the sad occurrence, actress Nazi Ekezie writes, “My prayers are for the explosion victims… May God strengthen the families affected in this trying time. I’m tired of ranting about our “anyhow” in this country. I’m tired of ranting about our leaders too. It’s a miracle if you are still alive and breathing in Nigeria. Anything can happen to you, no matter how rich or secure you are… I pray we learn to value this thing called “LIFE”.
