Ibadan Explosion Linked To Illegal Miners - Governor Seyi Makinde by Mynd44(mod): 4:44am On Jan 17, 2024

We visited the scene of the explosion which occurred at about 7.44 pm yesterday, 16 January 2024 in Bodija, Ibadan. This unfortunate incident resulted in death and injury to residents in the vicinity and also affected properties. We have already deployed first responders and all relevant agencies within Oyo State to carry out comprehensive search and rescue operations. These operations will continue throughout the night.

Earth moving equipment, ambulances, emergency lights, and security were deployed to the scene of the incident. The wounded and injured are being treated and moved to public and private hospitals within Ibadan. Medical personnel are on standby at these hospitals to provide all needed assistance to the injured. We have visited UCH to see some of those injured during the incident.

In total, we have 77 injured victims so far, most of whom were treated and discharged and 2 fatalities. May their souls rest in peace and may God give their loved ones the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

I have directed that the medical bills of all victims be covered by the government. We will also be providing temporary accommodation for those whose houses were affected and ensuring that they are supported to rebuild their lives.

Preliminary investigations by the security agencies revealed that illegal miners occupying one of the houses in Bodija had stored explosive devices there which caused the blast. The investigations are ongoing. All those found culpable for this will be brought to book.

I urge all residents to please call 615 for any emergencies they may be experiencing at this time and to remain calm and stay away from the immediate scene of the incident to allow rescue operations to be carried out without interference.

We are grateful to the first responders, security personnel and all those who are at the scene to assist with the rescue operations as well as the medical personnel taking care of the injured.

Please say a prayer for those who have been affected by this disaster as we continue with the rescue operations.

What are the mining?
I think it's to early to start saying stuff on media, till a proper investigation has been carried out

If actually they incident was caused by illegal miners, then those involved and those sponsoring them, should face justice

It's not. It's stored dynamite that was mistakenly detonated. Bodija is full of miners (both legal and illegal)

Takes nothing less than 7 days to set up a mine site.

If you start erecting a non-approved building, thugs from the development council can locate you within 48 hours to threathen and extort you.

What can't this be replicated in the mining sector?

Not everyone in those videos were dead.

There was a white truck transporting people in one clip on X.

They were all alive and moving.

Go and watch the clips again.

This prompt response by the governor should be how responsible leaders react when there’s a breakdown in the functionality of governance
