In a startling development this Friday morning, an explosion rattled the tranquility of Dawaki, nestled within the Bwari Local Government Area of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory. The blast, occurring around 8:30 am, left at least one individual injured, raising concerns and prompting an urgent investigation into its cause.
Reports from SaharaReporters shed light on the harrowing incident, which seemingly originated from a one-bedroom apartment housing two male occupants. Witnesses described a deafening explosion, with one resident recounting a sudden bang echoing through the area.
Despite initial claims by one of the occupants attributing the blast to a cooking gas mishap, peculiar circumstances surrounding the event cast doubt on this explanation. Witnesses noted a conspicuous absence of any gas odor, absence of flames, and the peculiar sparing of the kitchen window, contrasting with the damage sustained by neighboring windows.
Expressing apprehension, a resident emphasized the need for a thorough investigation, urging authorities to summon the expertise of the bomb ordnance squad from the FCT command to unravel the truth behind the explosion's enigmatic origins.
However, attempts to solicit a response from Josephine Adeh, the FCT police spokesperson, proved futile, as calls and messages to her mobile line remained unanswered, leaving the community in suspense and clamoring for answers amidst escalating concerns over safety and security in the area.
