Governor Caleb Mutfwang has commiserated with victims of a tanker crash at Mararaban Jama’a, Kuru district of Jos South LGA.

The governor stated this in a condolence message issued by his spokesman, Gyang Bere, on Tuesday.

A tanker conveying petrol crashed in the Mararaban Jama’a area and destroyed many shops and other properties worth millions.

The governor, who described the incident as unfortunate, thanked God that no life was lost in the accident. However, he prayed for a speedy recovery for those who sustained various injuries during the incident.

Mr Mutfwang, however, appealed to motorists to obey all traffic rules and regulations as they travel during this festive season.

He reaffirmed his commitment to providing a conducive and peaceful atmosphere for all citizens to carry out their lawful duties without intimidation.
