The commissioner, in the statement described the act as dangerous as it could lead to destruction of lives and properties adding that the state government would probe the use of petrol as souvenir and will ensure that all parties involved face the wrath of the law.

“The safety of lives and property of Lagosians and visitors remain a top priority to government.
