By Abule Ado Explosion: 6Months After, Bethlehem College Remains In Ruins Despite N2bn Relief Funds
Many may have forgotten about the March 15th, 2020 explosion that rocked Abule Ado community, but it is still very fresh in the hearts of the victims, especially students of Bethlehem College.
According to available footage, the Catholic School was the most hit by the explosion as it destroyed over five structures located in the school compound, and also claimed the life of the Principal, Sr Henrietta Alokha, who was caught up while rescuing her students from the destroyed school buildings.
While BlackBox Nigeria reliably gathered that several persons who were said to be victims of the explosion had gotten about N2.5m each from the Relief Funds set up by the Lagos State Government, there seem to be no help going in the way of the school as after 6months, the students have been left to their fate.
In its investigative report, BBC African Eye confirms that the explosion experienced on that Sunday was as a result of leakage from the pipeline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. The story corroborate with an exclusive report by BlackBox Nigeria which was reported a day after the incident.
