The ancient town of Kabba in the Kogi West Senatorial District was rocked by a second explosion, which also occurred in a bar.
This is the second explosion that has occurred in that community within a month.
Sunday night, an explosion reportedly occurred at a bear parlour opposite a police station.
The initial explosion, which sparked debates over whether it was a bomb or a gas cylinder, occurred on May 11 in a beer parlour near Lewu Junction in Kabba Town.
This explosion claimed the lives of three of the sixteen individuals affected. However, no casualties were reported, and the building sustained extensive damage.
William Aya, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, confirmed that there were no casualties in Sunday’s explosion.
Sunday at approximately 9:15 p.m., a police spokesperson explained, an explosion occurred at the Omofemi Bar in Okepadi Quarters, Kabba.
“As it is now, there is no casualty, but only chairs and tables and the building is affected by the yet to be determined nature of the explosion.
“Already the Commissioner of Police, Mr Edward Egbuka, has directed our DC Investigations and the Bomb detective Squad to move to the scene to ascertain the very nature of the explosion.
“The police are on top of the situation as our officers and men drafted to the area have cordoned the place until an investigation reveals the real cause of the explosion.
“It’s very unfortunate that criminal elements are out to disrupt the prevailing peace we are enjoying in Kogi.
“We shall not rest until we bring to book such elements and let them see the need for maintenance of peace in our society,” he warned.
Aya called on the people of Okepadi and Kabba to be calm and go about their normal duties without any fear as the police were on top of the situation.
