President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday expressed sadness at the gas explosion which killed the Chairman of the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission, Prof. Simon Mallam, his son and three others at Sabon Tasha area of Kaduna on Saturday.
The President, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said: “I am deeply touched by this unfortunate incident that claimed the lives of Prof. Simon Mallam, his son and others.
