The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative has confirmed that a brake failure was the primary factor behind the devastating bi-fueled petrol tanker accident that may have caused the death of many persons on Wednesday in Abuja.
It also expressed sorrow over the accident, offering condolences to the families affected.
A statement signed by the initiative stated that the organisation was saddened by the loss of life but, urged the public to await the outcome of a comprehensive investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident.
GISTSMATE MEDIA had earlier reported the explosion which the FCT Emergency Management Department claimed to involve a CNG truck and other vehicles.
It said the accident, which led to an explosion near Karu Bridge, happened at about 7:14pm on Wednesday.
The statement read, “The PCNG Initiative is deeply saddened by the tragic accident on the Karu Bridge between Kugbo and Nyanya in the Federal Capital Territory. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this devastating incident.
“While initial reports suggest the involvement of a Bi-Fueled Petrol Tanker, we urge the public to await the outcome of a thorough investigation to ascertain the exact cause of the accident. Preliminary accounts indicate a possible brake system failure leading to the explosion of the petrol storage tank, but it is crucial to avoid speculation until all facts are established.”
The PCNGi also promised to work with relevant authorities to ensure that safety standards are upheld and incidents like this are prevented in the future.
A commendation was also given to the FEMA, the Nigeria Police Force, and the National Emergency Management Agency for their swift response to the incident, limiting further casualties.
“The PCNG Initiative remains committed to promoting the safe and sustainable use of CNG as a cleaner energy alternative. We will continue to work closely with relevant authorities, including the FCT Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Fire Service, and other stakeholders, to ensure that safety standards are upheld and incidents like this are prevented in the future.
“We commend the swift response of the emergency responders, including FEMA, the Nigeria Police Force, and the National Emergency Management Agency, who are on the ground working tirelessly to rescue victims and manage the situation,” the statement concluded.
