The incident, which has been confirmed by the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Indabawa, occurred when a missile accidentally fired from an Airforce jet on routine maintenance at the Airforce mechanic hangar in Port Harcourt hit an uncompleted building about three kilometres away from the jet.
Some residents of the area who spoke with DailyTimes said “the blast was heard as far away as Shell”.
No casualties or injuries have been reported as at press time. Calm seems to be returning to the area after the military established the cause of the blast.
