The Governor and the Government of Kogi State are saddened by the unfortunate incident that claimed many lives in the early hours of today.
The people are the State. Therefore, the primary responsibility of Government is to ensure the safety and well-being of the Kogi people.
As a result of the importance placed on the lives of our people, Government has declared a two-day state mourning to honor the departed souls.
In this time of grief, we urge the people to be deep in sober reflection and stand together for one another to pull out of the agonizing loss.

We also call on relevant Federal Government agencies to provide relief materials to support what the State Government shall be providing.
Our hearts are with the affected families. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
