The Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has reacted to the pipeline explosion in the Abule-Ado area of Lagos.
Naija News learnt that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) angrily demanded that all those who have hands in the incident should be punished.
In a statement on Sunday from his Media Office, signed by Tunde Rahman, Tinubu commiserated with families and relations of those who lost their lives in the unfortunate occurrence. 
He said: I strongly condemn this incident. I commiserate with families and relations of those who died. I also sympathize with those who lost their valued property.
In their memories and in order to avert similar occurrences in the future, the authorities must get to the root of this incident and curb the incessant pipeline explosion in the area.
All those who had a hand in this explosion, including those who acted in ways to put lives at risk and hard-earned possessions in jeopardy must be punished, no matter how highly placed they may be, he insisted.
Naija News recalls that the death toll from the incident has risen to at least 17, with about 25 people injured. Buildings, cars and other properties owned by people in the area and environs were destroyed by the impact of the blast.
