It will be one year tomorrow since the explosion that rocked a Lagos community, Abule-Ado, in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area. In this piece, Vice Chairman of the Council and member of the investigative committee set up by Lagos State government to unravel the cause of the blast, Segun Idris, speaks on the findings of his panel and developments in the area. The explosion claimed the lives of nearly 30 people while properties worth billions of naira were destroyed. Excerpts:
Your committee was given two weeks to submit its findings. Why haven’t the report been made public?
Another: I suffered memory loss
Catholic school: Govt gave us land without docs after losing 5 workers, nine houses worth N2bn.

One year after early morning explosion rocked Soba community in Abule Ado area of Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, killing scores and destroying properties worth billions of naira, victims are still groaning in pain.
This is even as the Soba Community Development Association, CDA, has sued the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, for what it described as negligence that caused the disaster.
The committee set up by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, however, vehemently dismissed insinuations that the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, otherwise known as bomb.

Ahead of the APC membership registration and revalidation which starts on Tuesday, February 9, political gladiators in the nation’s ruling party are squaring up to again test their relevance.
From Kwara to Lagos, Zamfara to Enugu or Rivers, political actors are reportedly scheming to outdo their rivals and take control of the party register when at the conclusion of the exercise.
While the party recently reconciled some of its members across the states, the situation in Zamfara remains dicey. Just last week, former Governor Abdulaziz Yari and Sen. Kabir Marafa embraced reconciliation, but reports indicate that some of their supporters are spoiling for a showdown.
