“Two days ago, Ogun State was in a tumult with the news of fire incident that occurred around Ita-Oshin.
”We can authoritatively confirm that the truck that was involved in that fire is from this company,” he said.
Akintunde added, ”It was a sorry case because it involved loss of life and destruction of properties. Our preliminary investigation shows that it is an act of negligence from the company as they did not do the needful as regards the truck.
The Senior Special Assistant also said that the company would be unsealed as soon as all necessary steps and precautions have been put in place, maintaining that as a business-friendly state, the government does not take joy in sealing business premises perpetually.
The fire incident involving the Gasco Marine truck occurred at about 5:pm at Ita Oshin junction a few metres from the roundabout.
The truck, moving inward Abeokuta, lost control and ran into the road pavement before it eventually stopped. The driver fled the scene while the truck boy lost his life.
