A suspected bomb explosion has left the people of Umuneke Obazu Mbieri in Mbaitoli LGA, Imo State, devastated as they woke up on Sunday morning to witness the incident.
Confiding in journalists, a community leader, Emeka Arimanwa, narrated that at about 1 am, a suspected drone was seen hovering over the community and its neighbouring Umunjam and Amaulu in Ihitte Mbieri autonomous communities, a scene he said was unusual.
He further explained that within 10 minutes of sighting the object, a loud explosion was heard, leading to the destruction of one building and causing varying degrees of damage to other nearby buildings.
Arimanwa hinted that the effect of the explosion had created apprehension in the community, as such an incident had never occurred in the area before.
