The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Fresh FM Nigeria, Dr. Yinka Ayefele (MON), has expressed grief and sympathy over the tragic explosion that rocked Ibadan last Tuesday night.
Ayefele said the disaster which claimed invaluable lives and property of residents of Bodija was too devastating for the people and the government of Oyo State deal with.
The condolences were contained in a statement made available by the Group Head of Corporate Affairs, Fresh FM and Yinka Ayefele Limited, Mr. Samson Akindele, in Ibadan.
He said, “This is a disaster too big to soak in for the victims and the government of Oyo State because of the psychological, physical and social impacts it generated. Our hearts are with you in this moment of grief. My condolences and sympathy go to the families that lost their loved ones and the injured. I pray that the Almighty God shall pour His oil of comfort on your wounded hearts.”
Dr. Ayefele commended the swift and pain-relieving actions of the Oyo State government, security agencies and kind-hearted citizens who assisted survivors of the explosion.
He further appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde and the relevant security agencies to leave no stone unturned in identifying those who have brought unimaginable pains and sorrow on innocent citizens through the unfortunate man-made disaster.
According to him, “This is not a natural disaster but the handiwork of some evil-minded, reckless and irresponsible people. I encourage our dear Governor, with the support of security agencies to investigate, identify and prosecute anyone that has direct or remote involvement in the mindless destruction of precious lives and property.”
Dr. Ayefele then pledged the support of all Fresh FM stations, Blast FM and Tiwa-n-tiwa FM in assisting the government and the people to disseminate real-time information and enlightenment on post-incident activities.
“As customary of our radio communication outfits, our channels are open to Oyo State government, residents and security agencies in order to disseminate relevant information and enlightenment that would mitigate the phycological and sociological impacts of this incident. Our regular news and programmes shall be made to accommodate any help-laden, problem-solving information, education and enlightenment pertaining to the disaster”, Dr. Ayefele promised.
He urged Oyo State residents to cooperate with the state government in having a closure reasonable to Tuesday’s disaster, with the aim of having a safe, secured and prosperous environment across the state.
