In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, Makinde said the palliative would provide immediate succor to the victims.
“This is unfortunate, but as a government of the people, we will do everything within our power to ensure that we provide relief for them.
“I have just asked that an immediate relief of N10m be given to them at least to have something for this holiday while we look at the list and extent of the losses here, ” he said.
The statement also reveals that other top government officials were also reported to have accompanied the Oyo Governor to inspect the scene of the incident.
