The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday, caused panic in the affected area and drew emergency responders to the scene, including security personnel and medical teams.
The State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, who arrived at the scene shortly after the explosion, said the blast may have originated from a military ordnance believed to have been improperly handled or transported.

“I received a call that something serious had happened. When I arrived, I found that it was a suspected explosion—possibly a military mortar bomb. Fifteen people were injured, and unfortunately, five died,” he said.

Fact of the Day: Helios Flight 522 was a scheduled passenger flight from Cyprus to Prague that ended in tragedy on August 14, 2005. Just minutes after takeoff, a pressurization failure caused the crew and passengers to lose consciousness due to hypoxia. The aircraft, on autopilot, continued flying for over two hours before crashing into a hillside near Grammatiko, Greece. All 121 people on board were killed.
