A loud explosion occurred in Kurudu, a
community on the outskirts of Abuja,
this morning.
The explosion caused panic in Kurudu,
Jikoyi and other adjoining areas as
residents scampered for safety.
A resident of an Army Estate in Kurudu,
told PREMIUM TIMES that soldiers
simply locked the gate and prevented
anyone from going out upon hearing the
loud explosion.
However, a spokesperson for the
Nigerian Army confirmed that it was a
controlled blast.
Mr.Olagide Olaleye, a Brigadier General
told Premium Times that a rock had been
blocking a new road being constructed
from Karishi to Apo, in the Abuja city
centre.
He said the rock was blasted, with
dynamites, to free the road and allow
construction to continue.
