LAGOS  (AFP) – An explosion damaged a mosque early Saturday in a town in Nigeria’s southern oil rich Niger Delta, police and a government source said.

“There was an incident in Sapele,… several persons were injured, but no deaths,” a government official who asked not to be named told AFP.

Delta State police spokesman Charles Muka dismissed the explosion as an “internal fire incident” and said only one person was wounded.

“Only one person sustained injuries,” said Muka. He could not ascertain how many worshippers were inside the mosque at the time of the blast.

“It was not a bomb, we suspect an internal fire. There is no trace of a bomb blast,” he said.

Good initiative. Now every southern region has acted but the SE now. What are you all waiting for?

kasiem:

We dont need any bomb in the south cos it'll indirectly affect the lives and properties of southerners. They should package it and send to the north so that it'll add to the destruction.

It is the work of OPC

With all due respect brother, we want these fools out of our land so that we can make room for the return of the southerners from the north. If bombing their house of satan is the way then so be it.

I REPEAT!!!!

THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS WAR,  I AM FROM SAPELE AND I KNOW WHERE THIS MOSQUE IS LOCATED,  This is far from Religious hatred,  It is more of an infighting,  Sapele is a Peaceful town and it will always remain so,  Please dnt get carried away with religious hatred,  we should be careful of wat we incite,  !!!
