“We are going to provide that assistance and protection, we have seen them and we are going to foot all bills and all necessary arrangements to help them recover.’’
Farouk said that the fire explosion was as a result of fuel licking from a generator that was on, which entered the room of the victims.
Also speaking, Dr Olaomi Oluwole, Director clinical services of the National Hospital, Trauma Centre, said that the three patients at the centre had a major burnt.

“ The young children had major burnt and will need a lot of efforts both in terms of consumables, dressing, drugs and human attention, to make them get over their present predicament.
