Four days after the explosion which occurred in Ondo State, the driver of the truck that conveyed the explosives, Mr Isiaka Yinusa, said he did not know that his vehicle carried explosive devices.

The explosion occurred on Akure-Owo Expressway, at Ilu Abo town in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State in the early hour of Saturday, injuring several people and destroying no fewer than 70 buildings in the community.

To this end, the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of operation, Mr Abdulmajid Ali, had said the IGP, Abubakar Adamu had set up a committee to unravel the cause of the explosion. “As I was sleeping inside the truck, I heard a knock on the vehicle door by someone who informed me that smoke was coming out from under the vehicle.

This driver needs to be trashed... Who on earth will load a truck as big as that without knowing the content...in this our country Nigeria. Knowing fully well that he can be stopped on the way by our security men... Nigeria police

Dey won't tell the truth instead they will b telling stories 2 confuse ppl

how come the driver survived this massive explosion and where are the remains of the truck. This story is dropping a lot of questions rather than answers

So why are they saying it was an asteroid?

Is this reporter mad? What did he notice in his abdomen? Why did youbend the reportage half way?

Where is that out dated professor who said it was an asteriod? 🤣🤣🤣

I thought the police officer at the scene stated that the vehicle had an escort from the explosive department, how come the driver is ignorant of having an escort follow him? This stories are just incoherent!

Which of the road gets damaged... The driver was sleeping in the parked truck only to be awaken by someone and started running. Is the truck not packed by roadside?

So the driver survived? Hmmm i reserve my comments

And why is the driver still alive

Who created this country sef, we need to check d bkgrd of d creation

Wait he's Alive? Wonderful

This story get as e be

The story still doesn't add up anything.....it was a natural occurrence. He and the policemen ran but he was injured and the policemen were not injured

They need to tell us about Abule Ado Lagos first before Akure.

So De man is even alive to talk, what kind of explosive dat destroyed dis building and leave the man driving the Truck at carried it. Is he a magician or is he anti-explosive

With the magnitude of that explosion, this driver should be dead if not for conspiracy. Definitely raises suspicions

When FFk was talking about Bomb both in Lagos everybody where looking at him like Mr Talk too much , Ok ooo

Nigerians need to know who owns the consignment and where and what it is destined for..that explosion was loud and it shook the ground more than 10km from impact...

On many occasions drivers are not informed what is contained in the vehicles by the owners. Let the police probe the owner.

See for yourself and differentiate

See for yourself and differentiate

How did he survive?

If he doesn't know... Why didn't he die with the blast...

Soro niyen

That truck isn't responsible for the humongous damage.

He did you survive it sir

Ok. We’ve seen pictures of the damaged buildings, what bout the truck itself? Abi it melted?

How did he escape when they told us that the truck sunk into the ground? This government can tell lies

Confused Government. Please are fixing hospitals and improving medical care.. Nigerian APC Government is sharing money.

Keep digging please. Na GOD Dey save this country. Transporting explosives in a not so wonderful truck

the_McHorf How come he didn't die

Was the truck on motion or parked before the explosion?

😂😂😂😂this is super story.....what do u take us for to bliv this shit

Hmmm...

Wait! The guy didn't die? Thought with the size of that crater, nobody would have survived that blast.

I like this news but it left much to be desired.

If a whole truck fit turn dust then how driver come survive the impact?

Na wah

How come you survived it ... You drove a vehicle you don't know what it contained... You must be out of your mind

The story seem unreal. 🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️

Story for the gods...

How did he survive to tell the story!

The driver said he is taking the truck to Auchi, election is Edo state.... Let us be wise....

See this one...

The question is, where's the scrap of the vehicle? The vehicle disappeared but the driver and the police escort didn't. I remain incredulous

Who owned the consignment?

No car debris, no death with this damage? Police escorting such equipment and can't communicate an outpost within the state for another car? Hmmm. So we have people that outrun an explosion. Wuna weldon. This is Nigeria. One Love.

Them fences ur sense 👀

So am the one that put it there abi? They guy is a terror, and I bet you Nigeria government will rather pay him than locking him up, imagine buratai redeployed that commander that spock up, and surprisingly nothing will happen at the end, this country is nothing but a zoo,

The more you look or hear about Nigeria, Nigerians and their activities, the more you're confused. DissolveIt

Liar...

Nigeria my country

How did the driver escape

It's an idiotic expression! How come ? And he is on interstate transporting.

Una done see am.

Can this be true? Where is the explosives coming from, it means the escorts knows the content of this truck, for him to declare run for your life. The investigations must be done thoroughly and results made known and open to the public.

They want to use explosives for common Edo state election while the army don't have any weapon to fight boko haram

Nigerian Army, to see a boy and call him a girl out of ignorance is not my issue dont foolishly impose it on people, Hiroshima and Nagasaki didnt get this dept, what bomb? This is an opportunity to expand the Nigerian defense or to have something like NASA or use your geologist

Didn't some University officials say they conducted an investigation on the site and confirmed it was a meteorite? Hmmmn

Something is not adding up in all these stories. What are they trying to cover up?

Aha!!!!

Ppl of ondo state let us be watchful now,this that happen is just like a warning honestly.If you notice anybody in your environment that is his or her going in and out looks suspicious report to the nearest police station.God bless ondo state, God bless Nigeria

Why are you people telling lies. No driver can survive the amount of explosion.

Lmao 😂 🤣😂

Same in Abule Ado followlasg jidesanwoolu AsiwajuTinubu oluremitinubu toluogunlesi

It's an Asteriod, simple as that. This stupid & lame story isn't adding up at all. Only a fool will believe this ,🤣😂😁😆

So my question is this, where's the shattered metal from the truck...ahbi if an explosion occur within a truck at least there must be pieces of some part of the truck if not all? Or were they packed over night.

And one OAU Prof is doing like a detective.......wtf! D thing drop from angle 60 from heaven.....ehn

Cock and bull story. -Fire started with vehicle at rest. -Hausa man driver of vehicle -Explosion of that magnitude would have blown driver to pieces. -What are they doing with bombs in Auchi, Edo State? GovernorObaseki better be vigilant

Cook-up

Show the truck debris na ...

Nobody knows what the outcome was bro... the lies they fed the public stands ... a full long truck exploded and was buried down in pull of sand deep in hole without a shattered pieces...lol oh Nigeria 😂...okay at least ondo state government should show us the dug truck na..lies

🧢

Game planned just that it was executed at the wrong place. They wanted using those explosives 🧨 during elections. EDO & ONDO be vigilant. Here Is the big question ,who cleared those goods?

The truth is coming out soon... but initial report said and I quote “ the truck caught fire and the driver and his motor boy knowing that there’s an explosive they fled the scene “ so how come now that a driver won’t know what he is carrying..Nigeria we hail thee😂

Versions of reported news

Wonderfuuuuu... 😲😮😮😮 There is a driver?

The asteroid theory has been effectively laid to rest with this. The solider escorts should also be drilled.

Very conflicting story. U saw smoke from under the car but didn't act on it. Instead u kept on driving. Then u saw fire, used extinguisher which didn't work and the policeman said u should all run. Poor quality reporting.

A vehicle carrying explosives escorted by police men The destination is Edo State I reserve my conspiracy theory Fact is Influential & political weights are behind this plot but as God would have it, their mission failed Don't expect anything to come out of this investigation

Where is the pieces or damaged vehicle? The narrative doesn't fit the evidence on ground.

You Lie Thru Your Teeth .. So How Did You Survive such devastating Explosion ?

If the police man who spoke to Ctvnews said they (quarry) have obtained all necessary papers to move d explosive n here is d driver saying he neva knew he was carrying explosive. Questions needed to be asked more further

Pictures?... Short video interview would suffice.

Find the police escorts

Thank God the owner of the truck & it’s evil contents have been identified. What’s remaining is an ACCURATE assessment of the cost of the damage so appropriate compensation CAN BE PAID - a deterrent in future

Same story in Abule ado in Lagos. Nigerians be vigilant

Someone said its was Meteorite that caused the explosion at least we know what happened now

Hmm Nigeria

LMAO!!! They disappear in there

Wtf

Life no be movie baba u know just park well and let's move on 😑

Those people need proper monitoring and sensitization. They are just like morons
