The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has extended heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Niger State following the tragic tanker explosion at Dikko Junction, Abuja-Kaduna Expressway, Niger State, which claimed over 73 lives on January 18, 2025.

Egbetokun, in a statement signed by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, emphasized the importance of adhering to safety protocols on roads.

He warned firmly against negligence and disregard for regulations that can lead to such catastrophic incidents.

“This horrific incident occurred when a truck loaded with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) lost control and eventually caught fire, resulting in the loss of over 73 lives, numerous injuries, and the destruction of several shops and properties,” the IGP stated.

The IGP, therefore, directed all State Commissioners of Police to strengthen the Motor Traffic Divisions (MTDs) of their respective State Commands, in collaboration with other traffic management agencies, to ensure strict compliance and enforcement of established protocols and traffic regulations on highways.

The statement further charged vehicle owners and drivers to ensure that their vehicles are roadworthy and abide by traffic rules to prevent any tragedies.

While praying for the souls of the departed, he called on all stakeholders, including transport operators and the general public, to prioritize safety and responsibility in their operations and actions, ensuring that such tragic incidents do not occur in the future.
