The ancient city of Kabba in Kogi was rattled with another explosion incident on Sunday night.
The first explosion which generated controversies as to whether it was a bomb or gas cylinder, occurred on May 11 at a beer parlour around Lewu Junction in Kabba town.
Confirming Sunday incident, 18 days after the first explosion, Police public relations officer, SP William Aya, said the explosion happened at one Omofemi Bar at Okepadi Quarters, Kabba, around 9.15pm of Sunday.
Aya said 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.
“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 explosion.
“The police is on top of the situation as our officers and men drafted to the area have cordoned the place until investigation reveals the real cause of the explosion.
“It is very unfortunate that criminal elements are out to disrupt the prevailing peace we are enjoying in Kogi,” he said.
The Police spokesman assured that the command will not rest until criminal elements are brought to book.
He called on the people of Kabba to be calm and go about their normal duties without any fear.
