Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, visited the site of the firecracker explosion that killed an 11 year-old boy and razed about 15 buildings yesterday. Lagos State is one of the states that has banned the use of fire crackers ,on that note , Fashola promised to deal with the owner of the store where the fire crackers were stored and those involved in the importation and clearing of the goods.

“In order to make quick business, we have lost a life, we lost property and all of us are in danger. All of these items are under one form of prohibition or the other and we have men and women at our various entry and exit points. How did they get in? How did they enter? Who imported them and who cleared them? Who approved them to come in. Those are very serious issues we must also ask ourselves"
