An
explosion has occurred along Akure-Owo expressway, a few kilometres from the
Akure metropolis.
Residents of the area said they
believe the explosion was caused by bombs, although the police are still
investigating the matter. The incident occurred around 1
a.m. on Saturday.
Some reports on social media
suggest that the explosion emanated from bombs being transported along the way
by security personnel.
The blast caused panic among
residents of Akure, Obaile, Eleyowo, Iluabo, Osi and other neighbouring
settlements along the stretch of the highway.
A church, Possibility Church, was
damaged by the explosion, a resident of the area said.
“The Commissioner of Police and I
are on our way to the scene right now,” Mr Ikoro said.
“Once we
are able to assess the situation, we can come clear as to what actually
happened and I will let you get the details.”
