On Tuesday, the management of Inter Corp Oil, a subsidiary
of Chikason Group of Company, nnewi, Anambra State has denied that the gas
explosion, which occurred in their factory on December 24 did not kill many
people or destroy a lot of property as reported.
Managing Director of the company, Mr. Linus Ilozue, who
briefed newsmen at the company’s headquarters, stated that the casualty figures
were grossly exaggerated and insisted that only eight persons died.
He said: “While accepting that there was loss of lives, the
company wishes to state that the figures are grossly exaggerated. The recorded figure
of the death as released by the police stands at eight. Investigations are
still ongoing to determine the cause of the explosion. Most of the casualties
in the fire incident were onlookers,” he said, adding that no staff of the
company died in the incident.
