The police in Ondo State say the gunmen who attacked the construction company in Owo, Ondo State, on Wednesday night, used explosives to destroy one of the earth-moving machines at the site.

Funmilayo Odunlami, the police spokesperson in the state, said in a statement that the command has begun investigations to unravel those behind the attack.

Gunmen attacked Craneburg Construction Company in the ancient town, injuring two security men, according to Adetunji Adeleye, the Ondo State Commander of Amotekun Corps. Oyeyemi Oyediran, the police commissioner in the state, led a team of officers of the Explosive Ordinance Department – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high yield Explosives , also known as Anti-Bomb Squad, to the scene on Thursday, according to the police statement.

The statement said the incident occurred at about 10:00 p.m. on July 27 and was promptly responded to by officers covering the jurisdiction. “At the scene, the officers met the duo of one Rifum Lawrence aged 50 years, and Abraham Opara aged 45 years old, with bullet wounds,” Ms Odunlami said.
