A suspected bomb explosion has left the people of Umuneke Obazu Mbieri in Mbaitoli LGA, Imo State, devastated as they woke up on Sunday morning to witness the incident.

Confiding in journalists, a community leader, Emeka Arimanwa, narrated that at about 1 am, a suspected drone was seen hovering over the community and its neighbouring Umunjam and Amaulu in Ihitte Mbieri autonomous communities, a scene he said was unusual.

He further explained that within 10 minutes of sighting the object, a loud explosion was heard, leading to the destruction of one building and causing varying degrees of damage to other nearby buildings.

Arimanwa hinted that the effect of the explosion had created apprehension in the community, as such an incident had never occurred in the area before.

 

He called on security agencies to visit the scene to ascertain the level of destruction caused by the explosion and investigate its cause.

The DPO in charge of Mbieri Police Division, Superintendent of Police Wet Ben, had visited the scene but did not make any official statement regarding the cause of the explosion.

Visiting the scene of the explosion, the chairman of the local government, Ifunanya Nwanegwo, addressed residents of the area and urged them to remain calm, assuring them that everything was being done to unravel the cause of the explosion.
