Panic gripped workers and visitors to  Government House, Asaba, Delta State yesterday, when an explosion rocked a guest house in the premises. The  blast  forced many of the Government House   staff  to desert their offices and ranaway for their life.
The explosion caused many of the government house staff to run for dear lives. 


The explosion shattered the roof and walls of the VIP lodge.
The blast, which was said to have occurred at about 3:00pm however, destroyed property yet to be quantified after blowing off the roof of the guest house.

As at press time, there was no report of casualty. However, nobody or group has claimed responsibility for the blast. Men of the boºmb disposal unit have arrived the scene for investigastions. Daily Sun investigations showed that a group yet to be identified had allegedly issued a warning to the state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to stop mismanagement of the state resources failing which he would attract its wrath.

The unknown group, Daily Sun gathered also told Uduaghan to forget about his re-election bid or face unpleasant consequence. Shortly after the blast, it was learnt that security operatives cordoned off the premises. preventing journalists from entry. Workers feared that similar explosive devices might have also been planted in other areas in the government house.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Charles Muka who was seen at the scene of the incident declined comments.   Reacting to the incident, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Uduaghan, Mr. Sunny Ogefere confirmed the blast in the VIP lodge in Government House saying, the explosion occurred in a commercial outfit of the state government located near the government house. “At about 3pm this afternoon there was an explosion at the Asaba Guest House Asaba, a commercial outfit of the Delta State Government located near the Government House. Two of the rooms upstairs were damaged from the impact of the explosion. There were no injuries and no casualties recorded.

According to the governor’s spokesperson, “security agencies have already moved to the scene of the incident and cordoned off the premises and commenced investigations to ascertain the nature of the explosion.”

Niger delta boys are not smiling these days.

Am I right to say we are now in the bomb era?

Even in the home, if daddy can not afford mr biggs for junior, the boy will threaten, "Daddy I will bomb your house if you don't take me to mr biggs"

As morbid as this may sound I think bomb might be the only language our leaders understand. I just hope they prioritize the issue of security because now, unlike before, they are not very safe.

I don't subscribe to such because in the end,the poor civilians end up dying.Violence is not going to change anything.

@Slap1
Trust me diz foolz in govt simply won't learn. Cut off their limbs and dey will still find other ways to steal. Security is not on their agenda at all

. . .Neither do I. I'm just saying it appears to be the only thing that rattles them. It may not change a thing for now, but when about two governors are bombed to death, things will never be the same.

I accept civil disobedience against oppressive government but i won't tolerate insurrection or any form of violence to achieve any thing.The world has gone beyond killing leaders.if you don't want them,vote them out ! Just like IBB

True, but it's clear that Nigeria is not moving with the rest of the world. And as for voting them out, did we vote them in?

No. . .they imposed themselves on us but we've never challenged them.so it has become a custom .

This is just the beginning of the end!!!

This was my main fear over the Abuja bombs.An era of bomb just like kidnapping might be triggered off.Government needs to curb it now before it spreads.

Some people are set to challenge them through an auspicious method. I'm an advocate of civil disobedience in the face of inequity and injustice, but that works in civilized societies only. And we're yet to get there. We're still in the age of violence, though we gladly believe otherwise. Civil disobedience in Nigeria is akin to employing nuclear weapons in a village war. In spite of myself, I believe this bombs may bring about change.

But I have been crying here for months on how useless that Uduaghan man is. Uduaghan and his Big Thief brother destroyed Delta state. The man is so wicked it is unbelieveable.

Infact I hear he does not give contracts out if he does not benefit.

Check this out. Asaba has street lights which are run by generators, now guess wo supplies the desiel for the generators @ 4m naira per week? yes you guessed it right, Uduaghans equaly ugly wife Roli.

@BlueTooth,
I was in Delta state during the last primaries, and elections.

We did not have primaries, Ibori impossed his brother on us, amd used very wicked means to suppress others. Please go and find out.Whilst I never support violence, Uduaghan and his Brother are finally bringing on untold revenge unto themselves.

It is no coincidence that Ibori and wife are currently being tried, and will end up in jail, disgraced. God no dey sleep, for all the innocent blood Ibori and his evil brother have spilt, God no dey sleep.

Whether you're support of the bombings or not is your cup of tea. My say is that they shouldn't kill innocent civilians or security people still keeping this country in peace, because if those guys abandon their jobs i tell you we'd be worse than Somalia.

@Edoyad,

My brother I have always agreed with you, and I will in this case. But it is hard to imagine that this sort of thing would never happen in a country that has had its people cheated and oppressed for so long. It so happpend that Jerry Rawlins took a different approach and butchered them all.

The leaders of our country have been toying with faith for far too long, and I am afraid at some point the strong amongst the ordinary man is likely to fight back, and this is what you get

regressive progression from kidnapping to bombs!!!I wonder what next?

@monkeyleg The thing is we all know where the country's problems lay. Nigerian politicians are the most unrepentant crooks on the face of this planet and i doubt if the destruction of a few buildings will cause them to change.

No it wont, but Nigerians are even worse by sitting down and doing nothing. The common man in Nigeria has a very bad deal. I have seen some very terrible things happen to the common man. I just couldnt help but remember the awful things that have happend in Jos in recent years. Those kids that were killed, will they ever get justice. Innocent lives lost over greed and wickedness. There is always bound to be some sort of reaction.

Now for those that subscribe to voting them out of office, Nigerians are not ready to do what it takes to put in people that can make the change necessary, we are still discussing how we vote PDP back into power.

Pictures from the Will

Terrible. Man wey chuk hand inside fowl Nyash, anything when im see na im know

Although im not an expert on bombs or anything, but deducing from the pictures above, the explosions appear NOT to have been caused by a bomb, but from a small explosive device that detonated without igniting. I think

Na wa o! These days guys don't argue or fight anymore, they just test to see who has the biggest bomb!

In ten years time, each and every one of us will be driving one of these to pick the kids up from school. It is your duty to learn how to operate one.

Inasmuch as I hate violence, I am beginning to loveee thisss new era of "Bomb Scare". Its just so sad innocent masses are sometimes going to be hit (which of course might be me too ), but truth is our leaders obviously won't listen with ordinary ears except with militant action. I just wish these bombs and whatever can be targeted at strategic areas where it will hit the leaders so bad they won't know what came upon them. Go to House of Assembly where those fools sit to discuss rubbish and bomb their a*s off! I'm definitely in support of that!!!!!!!

Then tell those bombers to go after IBB and co.it makes no sense when innocent citizens are the casuality !

I personally dont feel sorry for the victims of October 1st Bomb Blast!!!. . . . . . . . . . I heard from a reliable source that they were paid to turn up for the celebration of ''50 yrs of FAILURES'' inspite of the warning to stay out of eagle square.

If any of them was a family member i wont even mind!
