Three persons of interest have been identified and will face prosecution in connection with the January 16, 2024 explosion at Adeyi Avenue, Bodija, Ibadan, according to the official report received by Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde. The report, which includes findings from the Medical, Security, and Engineering Teams, was presented to the governor on Tuesday at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan.

During a press conference held following the report presentation, the Special Adviser on Security to the Governor, COMPOL Fatai Owoseni (rtd), revealed that the explosion was triggered by an electric spark and that the character of the explosive is known as “Water Gel Type Based Explosive.” Additionally, Owoseni clarified that the incident occurred at Aderinola Street, not Dejo Oyelese Street as initially reported, with the epicenter at houses No. 8A and No. 8B.

Owoseni assured that the state government is committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice and will investigate the immigration status of all persons of interest, as a majority of them are from Mali. The government has made efforts to secure the area and prevent opportunistic crimes that often follow such incidents.
