There was a loud bang said to be as a result of an explosion in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Tuesday evening.
There were also videos surfacing online that showed a dusty cloud and burning houses and cars.
However, the cause of the explosion could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report.
A University of Ibadan student, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone said, โIt is true. We all heard the sound and it was very loud. The cloud is cloudy with smoke.
It happened at Bodija and we in the UI area could see the smoke. Even those at Sango and Ojo heard the sound. In fact, we are all in a room scared for our lifeโ
An X user, @WillieWinehouse tweeted, โA f***ing bomb just exploded in Ibadan! My entire house and street are in ruins!! What is going on!!โ
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the state police command, Adewale Osifeso and the state fire service to ascertain what happened failed.
