Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has released N 5.4 million as compensation for 54 victims of the tanker explosion that occurred at Ubeji in Warri South Local Government Area, Delta State recently, Fresh Angle International can authoritatively report.

Delta State Commissioner, Bureau for Special Duties, Barr. Ernest Ogweezy who addressed the victims and some of the landlords (property owners) at the Warri South Council Main Secretariat Monday October 30 shortly after visiting scene of the unfortunate incident, to verify the victims, noted that each of the victims will get N100, 000.00 each as compensation.

According to Barr. Ogwezzy, the proposal made to the Governor was for victims of the explosion only, saying that the landlords’ plea for compensation will be looked into later if a former complain to that effect is communicated to the State Government.

Fresh Angle International however gathered that Warri South Local Government Council had done all necessary costing as it affects the property owners and communicated same to the State Government alongside those of the victims.

The Commissioner stressed that the State Government did not in any way do anything to cause the explosion, but only thought it wise to provide succor to the victims.

Political Adviser to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Hon. Omimi Esquire, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Okowa on Political Matters, Mr. Matthew Poko, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth Development, Comrade Hope George, Warri South PDP Chairman, Mr. Johnson Agbeyegbe and the Warri South Council Head of Personnel Management, HPM, Mrs. Remi Omatsuli were among dignitaries that accompanied the Commissioner to Ubeji.
