Describing the explosion that claimed lives and destroyed private and public property as most unfortunate, Egbedun sympathised with those affected by the blast.
The speaker in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary called for calm as the Oyo State government investigates the cause of the explosion and puts necessary measures in place to alleviate the impacts of the blast.
