The Lagos State Government will investigate the sharing of petrol as souvenirs at a party and ensure everyone part of the action faces the law, Commissioner for Information and Strategy Gbenga Omotoso has said.

Omotoso, in a statement, said: “The attention of the Lagos State government has been drawn to a video showing kegs of petrol being handed out as souvenirs at an event in Lagos.

“There is no doubt that this action is dangerous and can lead to loss of lives and property. It is against all safety measures in such places.

“The government, through the Safety Commission, is investigating this matter and will ensure that all parties to this reprehensible action are made to account for it.

“The safety of lives and properties of Lagosians and visitors remains a priority to the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration. We, therefore, advise that actions that can lead to loss of lives and properties be avoided.”
