No Casualty In Ilese Barracks Explosion - Army by peekspot(op): 11:04pm On Aug 14, 2025

The Nigerian Army Thursday night confirmed no casualty was recorded in the explosion that occurred earlier at Ilese Barracks in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

Army spokesperson, Lt.-Col. Onyinyechi Anele disclosed this in a statement, describing the explosion as minor.

According to her, the explosion occurred within a storage building of the 42 Engineers Brigade Counter Improvised Explosive Device Squadron, which led to a fire outbreak.

Swift intervention by troops of the 12 Field Engineer Regiment, working closely with the Ijebu-Ode Fire Service, ensured that the fire was quickly contained, she stated.

“Importantly, no lives were lost, and no injuries were sustained. The structural damage was confined to the affected building and some stored materials. A detailed assessment is currently underway to determine the extent of material loss.

“We urge residents of Ilese and the adjoining communities to remain calm and go about their normal activities. The Nigerian Army, in collaboration with relevant agencies, has commenced a thorough investigation to ascertain the exact cause of the incident and to prevent a recurrence.

“The Nigerian Army remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of all its personnel as well the members of neighbouring communities,” Anele added.
