Anambra State Government organizes a mass burial for a total of 32 unclaimed bodies of the Onitsha fuel tanker fire. The Obosi community and the environs were calm with mourning as the dead bodies were committed to the mother earth.
In a sermon during the burial service, an Anglican cleric, Bishop Owen Nwokolo enjoined Christians to live a life of chastity so as not to be caught unawares by death.
Governor Willie Obiano, the executive governor of Anambra state expressed sympathy while he stated that his government has swung into action to avoid reoccurrence by prohibiting tanker drivers on the high way especially during day time and also Okada riders.
He admonished drivers in general to be making sure that their vehicles were in good condition always.
He revealed that the body tissue of the victims burnt beyond recognition have been collected and should be kept at Onitsha General Hosptal for a period of 10 years for further identification processes.
The fuel tanker accident happened at Upper Iweka Onitsha in May, 2015 claiming over 60 lives.
