Horror In Akure: Deadly Blast Destroys Buildings, Causes Injuries, Renders Dozens Of City’s Residents Homeless As Coronavirus Fear Grips Young And Old | Sahara Reporters

When residents of Akure, capital of Ondo State, went to bed on Friday night, they had no inkling of what laid in wait for them.

Like persons in other parts of the country where relative peace exists, they had hoped to wake up to a blissful Saturday despite the Coronavirus lockdown sweeping ferociously across the city and indeed most sections of Nigeria. Spirits were high. But by the time the early morning dew ushered in Saturday, Akure and hundreds of its residents had bitter tales on their lips. A deadly explosion that ripped through large parts of the city around 1:00am had not only destroyed houses, schools, churches and left dozens of persons critically injured, the blast equally left scores of individuals and families without a roof over their heads anymore. It was the last thing the people ever wished for at this time.

Nigeria is currently locked in efforts to curb the spread of Coronavirus pandemic in the country and as part of the strategy adopted, markets have been closed, public gatherings banned and residents asked to remain in their houses to avoid being infected with the virus.

Is this a country? Bombing now in south west, I still wonder if Nigeria has a government. Nigerians it is time wake up and speak truth to authority without fear.

I love with strong passion

O Lord have mercy on your children

Wait are you just posting this? You guys must have been so busy looking for Buhari

God have mercy 🙏🙏🙏
