Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, along with Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Iyabo Yerima, conducted an on-site visit to the scene of the Tuesday night explosion in Ibadan on Friday.

The CJN, who was accompanied by justices H.M. Ogunwumiju, M.A. Adegbola, A.L. Akintola, and M.O. Ishola, among others, described the scene as devastating, adding that only God can explain the reason behind such happenings.

The CJN and his entourage toured various locations affected by the explosion, including House 40 owned by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Niyi Akintola, and the residence of former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Iyiola Oladokun.

Expressing his thoughts during the visit, Ariwoola described the incident as devastating, emphasizing that no one can explain it except God.

“The scene is devastating; I don’t know who can explain it, but God knows it all. He knew it before it happened, and only God will take care of everything.

“We cannot say the government should come and do it, but God will assist the government in aiding all the affected families.”
