Akure Explosion: I Didn't Know There're Explosives In My Truck, Truck Driver by Explorers(op): 11:30am On Apr 02, 2020
Four days after the explosion which occurred in Ondo State, the driver of the truck that conveyed the explosives, Mr Isiaka Yinusa, said he did not know that his vehicle carried explosive devices.

The explosion occurred on Akure-Owo Expressway, at Ilu Abo town in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State in the early hour of Saturday, injuring several people and destroying no fewer than 70 buildings in the community.

Yinusa, together with some other people were injured in the accident and were rushed to the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Akure, the state capital, where he had since been receiving treatment.

Speaking on his hospital bed, the victim said he was hired to take a consignment to Auchi, Edo State, after the vehicle that was bringing the consignment from Ibadan became faulty in Osu, Osun State. He said he was oblivious of the contents of the consignment.

He further stated that the consignment was being escorted by some policemen.

According to him, on their way to Auchi, the truck developed a fault in Akure, the Ondo State capital. He said one of the police escorts advised that they should move the vehicle away from the highly populated area, when they could not rectify the fault.

He said, “We got to Akure around 6pm and we took time to relax at Shasha market area where we planned to sleep and continue the journey the following day. So I slept inside the vehicle.

“As I was sleeping inside the truck, I heard a knock on the vehicle door by someone who informed me that smoke was coming out from under the vehicle.

“We quickly moved.

The policeman that led the team said we should move ahead.

As we were moving on, the policemen in the escort said that I should stop.

As we got down, I saw fire coming out from the vehicle. We brought out fire extinguishers to put it out.

“As we were doing that, suddenly the policemen shouted that everybody should run.

As I was running, I heard a bang and noticed something in my abdomen. That was all I knew and the next thing was that I woke up in the hospital.”

Thought some geologists ascertained the other day that it was a meteor impact? Besides, where is that so called truck, or at least, its burnt parts?

My question to you is, how did you guys out run the shock waves that destroyed those building and everything in path like over 50meters away in radiushuh
You know how it happens in the movies right? They run and just before the explosion they jump into the air then fall to the ground and they are saved.

Point is what the man said doesn’t add up. He wouldn’t have had enough time to run to safety. There’s something fishy about the story after all.

the vibe i am getting from this is that our for sale police men were executing PP[private practice/contract] - delivering explosives [which are restricted items] for a company they cannot name publicly.

in classic nigerian style, they opted for the cheapest vehicle they could secure. they did not adopt any safety measures whatsoever.
because it is the police, i suspect they may have also gotten rid of [towed away] the carcass of the destroyed truck as soon as possible

since we have a survivor, we will soon start to find out what happened.


below is how sane people transport explosives
but we are nigerians, where people put unsafe trucks on the road, and tell us people have to eat - you are very wicked

Ondo state government and any victims should sue the hell out of the police and the owners of the explosives.

if not for covid 19, children would be dead right now.

They are purely lying about what really transpired.

Truck laden bomb theory does not make any sense.. Explosion that affected houses in 200m range..

How is it possible for the driver and the occupants to excape such magnitude explosion?
