Contrary to the rumor being peddled about a bomb blast in Port Harcourt, the rescue team from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) who were
mobilised to the scene after the incident confirm that “there was an explosion but it was from a commercial bus where it was
suspected that armed robbers could have concealed guns and dynamites in the vehicle which exploded due to combustion/overheat from the engine.”
The Driver of the vehicle is the only person confirmed dead from the incident while other occupants who were injured have been taking to Hospital.
