About 37 houses, 100 shops and 27 vehicles/tricycles were razed by fire in the tanker accidents.
Ambode, who visited the scenes of the accidents which occurred barely two weeks after he assumed office, had promised to provide succour to the victims, even as appealed to tanker drivers to be road safety conscious always.
It was gathered that 369 enumerated victims were housed at the Igando Resettlement Camp while 167 adults got a cheque of N100,000 each.
A total of 76 persons were recommended for financial assistance out which seven were landlords and got N500,000 each. Sixty-four others, who were shop owners, each got N150,000, while five tricycle operators got N50,000 each.
Presenting the cheques at the Igando Rehabilitation Centre, Ambode, who was represented by his deputy, Dr Oluranti Adebule, appealed to the beneficiaries to utilise the money judiciously. According to him, the money may not commensurate with their loss but it will help in ameliorating their plight.
