On Tuesday evening, Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, was rattled by a resounding explosion that echoed through key areas such as Agbowo, Sango, Orogun, and Bodija. The cause of this explosive event, which prompted concerns among residents, remains shrouded in mystery.
Witnesses reported a deafening sound, likening it to a tremor that shook houses. Conflicting accounts emerged, with one source in the Agbowo area speculating it could be a gas explosion, though this information has not been independently verified by SaharaReporters.
Efforts to obtain official statements from key authorities, including Adewale Osifeso, the spokesperson for the state police command, and the state fire service, proved unsuccessful at the time of reporting. The lack of clarity surrounding the incident heightens the community’s apprehension, and investigations are expected to shed light on the nature and cause of the explosion in Ibadan.
