The command’s Public Relations Officer, William Ovye-Ayaz, said there was no casualty recorded in the blast.

He explained that the explosion happened precisely at one Omofemi Bar at Okepadi Quarters, Kabba, around 9.15 p.m. on Sunday.

Ovye-Azaz said: “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 the explosion.

“Already 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.

“The police is on top of the situation as our officers and men drafted to the area have cordoned the place until an investigation reveals the real cause of the explosion.”

The PPRO lamented that it was unfortunate that criminal elements are out to disrupt the prevailing peace we are enjoying in Kogi.

“We shall not rest until we bring to book such elements and let them see the need for maintenance of peace in our society,” he warned.
