Sources told SaharaReporters that three people were killed by the blast, with some others injured.

There is palpable tension in Ebiraland in Kogi State as the palace of the paramount traditional ruler and Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr Ado Ibrahim was rocked by a bomb blast on Thursday morning.

An eyewitness told SaharaReporters that a car with explosives was driven into the palace, exploding some minutes after and ripping through the palace.

Sources told SaharaReporters that three people were killed by the blast, with some others injured.

According to an eyewitness, "a car with explosives was driven into the palace this morning and shortly after, the car exploded.”

The source said the identity of the driver could not yet be ascertained.

Although SaharaReporters could not independently ascertain the circumstances surrounding the bomb blast, sources claimed that it might be connected with the refusal of the monarch to accept the new palace reportedly built for him by Governor Yahaya Bello.

According to one of the sources, "President Muhammadu Buhari is visiting Kogi State today and there is a part of the story that Governor Yahaya Bello built a palace for the king but the king refused to move into the palace because he claims that his palace is better than the one built by the governor.

"The king was supposed to have moved to the place before today that Buhari would visit the state but he did not move in. So people are speculating that the explosion could have deliberately been triggered in his palace to force him to move to the new palace built by Governor Yahaya Bello."

Bomb blast?

Some enemy of the state maybe, trying to embarass the kogi state government for sure. More like a political motivated terrorism.

They had to execute it when the media attention is on the state due to Buhari's visit.

So royal fathers are not exempted from terrorists attack. Or maybe a case of another desperate person eyeing the throne

May God continue to protect us from evil. Bomb blast again this period? The government should step up and face who ever did this

Urchins should blame Peter Obi

The blast actually took place at a new mosque not far from the Ohinoyi's palace. The impact affected all the surrounding buildings, including the palace.

President Buhari was billed to visit an ultra modern hospital built by Yahaya Bello. The hospital is said to have medical equipments that no other hospital in Nigeria has. The hospital is about 200 meters from the blast site. I bet the president's visit has been cancelled.

IPOB Kogi Branch

Buhair buhair buhair

Wahala… Nigeria terror is aided by Elites.

Them go soon blame IPOB

That's the language of Fulani terrorists saying to Okene "Good Morning People ". We here for shiit

Okene is just being marked for Fulanization.

Nbote:
Them go soon blame IPOB

Take a back seat and stop your satanic tacit support for IPOB the murderers. Nobody has ever blamed IPOB for any killing or carnage outside of the South East or at worst, SS.

too bad

Arrests will be made

My beloved Igbira people have allowed the terrorist have an abode in their midst

We shall see an end to all these violence and killings when Peter Obi is declared president.

Buhari is a calamity. Tinubu is a catastrophe waiting to happen, but we would never allow it to happen.

the president is a military man, he is not afraid of anything. Even when ipob threaten him he still go to the east, even when bandits attacked his advance team he still went to Daura his hometown, also when boko haram bomb Maiduguri airport the president still landed on that same airport.

Ok ooo...My people will say ,,."ile Oba to jo nor, Ewa lo busi"

I just hope the King is safe

Nawa o

Kogi and Ondo eyes should be on them they should not bring it here
