Governor Fashola vows to deal with owner of stored fire cracker

Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola,
yesterday visited the site of the boxing day
firecracker explosion that razed about 15
buildings and killed an 11 year old boy.  Fashola
said he plans to punish the owner of the store on
Oko Awo street where the fire crackers were
stored.
“In order to make quick business, we have
lost a life, we lost property and all of us are
in danger. All of these items are under one
form of prohibition or the other and we
have men and women at our various entry
and exit points. How did they get in? How
did they enter? Who imported them and
who cleared them? Who approved them to
come in. Those are very serious issues we
must also ask ourselves" Fashola said
Lagos state is one of the states that has banned
the use of fire crackers
