The governor also confirmed that the death toll now stands at five as opposed to the earlier announcement of three persons.  

Furthermore, the governor highlighted that the focus at Ground Zero has shifted from search and rescue to recovery operations.

  • “Yesterday, the medical team at the Emergency Operations Centre and the Honourable Commissioner for Health, visited two of the hospitals where victims from the incident were taken and over 90% of the victims have been discharged. The death toll from the incident currently stands at five persons,” the governor said.  

Speaking on the cause of the incident, the governor said that security agencies are actively investigating the incident, and a forthcoming update on their findings will be made public. 

  • “The security agencies are still investigating the incident and an update on their investigation will be publicised. 
  • “Our administration remains committed to supporting all victims of this unfortunate incident and ensuring that everyone responsible is brought to book,” he added.
