IBADAN EXPLOSION: ‘We’ve Identified Company That Stored Explosive Devices’ – Gov. Makinde

Oyo state executive governor, Seyi Makinde, has confirmed that the company responsible for storing the explosive devices that caused Ibadan explosion has been identified.

He made this known in an interview with Channels TV that foreign names appear on the documents registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

It would be recalled that on Tuesday, January 17, an explosion occurred at Dejo Oyelese Street, Bodija area of Ibadan, resulting in three fatalities and numerous injuries.

The governor said it had nothing to do with terrorism as he attributed the incident to illegal miners storing explosive devices in a building.

Governor Seyi Makinde, however, said that one of the victims undergoing treatment for the blast at the hospital passed away today, bringing the death toll to three.

In his words:

“The truth is that we have identified the company involved with the storage of explosive devices in that particular building.

“We have an individual of interest who the security agencies should be inviting for questioning.

“I repeat my position that anyone who has contributed to putting this tragedy upon us, we will definitely bring them to book.

“It is not anything that has to do with banditry or insurgency. It is simply illegal miners who decided to store explosives in residential area

“We are trying to uncover the identities of the people. We’ve done a few fact-finding on the company involved, and yes, there are indeed some foreign names on the CAC documents of the company involved, but these are still early days.”
