May they rest in peace
Eyah R.I.P to the dead may their souls rest in peace. Eyah Chicason is a very good man with so many companies who helps people alot he employs people very well without minding who or what you are, and this befell on him. Well guess gas depot didn't favour him coz it's one of his last companies. Innoson will contact Gabros to treat the families of the diseased well despite a generous Chicason will do all.

OMG! This is quite unfortunate that people who were meant to live and witness the fun of this season lost their lives unexpectedly over ghastly gas station fire outbreak for no just cause... Dear Government, If really you people know what you're doing then i need a quick response on why you should allow filling stations be built near houses in the neighborhood having known the kind of damage that can be caused by fire.... IT'S UNFAIR O.... GOD IS WATCHING O.... May the Soul Of The Victimized Rest in Peace, Amen!
Lord have mercy on us! May their souls rest in peace....
