Kogi State Government has confirmed the detonation of an explosive device suspected to be a bomb at the Local Government secretariat in Okehi Local Government area secretariat.
State Security Adviser, Jerry Omodara, who confirmed the development in Lokoja, said the intention of the saboteurs may be to cause panic during the election to prevent people from coming out to vote.
Omodara said no life was lost and that security men have been deployed to the area to see that normalcy is restored.
About two months ago, a similar occurrence happened in the same Senatorial district when some explosives were detonated at the palace of the Ohiniye of Ebira land during the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari for the commissioning of some projects in the state.
