According to eyewitness report –
“A luxury bus just arrived from Port Harcourt; as the bus was attempting to Park, some passengers were disembarking, but to my utmost surprise, we had a bang which devastated the area. People started running helter-skelter before the bomb subsided, we saw five lifeless body on the ground, and a woman head flew off to a different direction. I cannot say whether she is a passenger or not. The Luxury bus was about off-loading when the bomb which may have been planted under the front-seat.”

According to the police commissioner, Mr. Adenrele Shinaba –
“On arrival, we discovered this luxury bus and damages done to these personal properties, properties like goods, all we know is that this luxury bus is getting ready to travel to Port Harcourt. In the process of loading the vehicle, one of the trucks that were being pushed was carrying a fridge to be loaded inside the vehicle, and it was the fridge that went off. It is presumed that there is a prime explosive concealed inside the refrigerator and that is what we are working on, now. So far, I want to confirm that one woman is dead, eight others are injured and have been taking to hospitals for treatment, the degrees of injuries is not a life threatening one, and we shall also in the shortest time move to the hospital to see the progress so far, to check the progress they are making. We have held meeting with necessary people of their need to be security conscious and to alert the police of any suspicious object or movement of any kind.”
