Police confirm explosion in Ile-

No casualty was recorded.
—————————————–
The inhabitants of Ile Ife in Osun
state were in panic on Tuesday
morning after an explosion went
off in the More area of the town.
Witnesses say an explosive
device planted in a house went
off. They said a police anti-bomb
squad which arrived the area
soon after the explosion defused
other devices planted close by.
No casualty or damaged property
was reported.
The Osun State Commissioner of
Police, Ibrahim Maishanu, who
visited the scene of the
explosion, told PREMIUM TIMES
that the blast was caused by
dynamites planted by
“mischievous persons.”
He said the nobody was killed
and injured by the explosion as
the dynamites were planted in an
isolated area. He also confirmed
that the police anti-bomb unit
defused other unexploded
dynamites found at the site.
“it was a dynamite of a low
calibre and it was placed in an
area where it cannot hurt
anyone or damage property.
When first one exploded police
bomb unit went to the site and
the second one was found at the
same location and it was
detonated by our anti-bomb
squad,” Mr. Maishanu said.
The Media aide to the Governor
of Osun State, Semiu Okanlawon,
told PREMIUM TIMES that the
explosion happened close to the
family house of the state
Commissioner for Tourism,
Shikiru Ayedun.
It is not clear if the explosion is
linked to the August 9
gubernatorial election in the
state. The state has been
relatively peaceful in the run-up
to the election. But the
government of the state has
warned of plots to import
violence into the state as the
election draws near.
