Bamgbose said:
“I think it is now more towards eight and nine persons now, or even 10, whom those in the neighborhood have talked about.
“We took the map of the street to them (government) and tried to account for (people) house by house to get accurate information.
“If the person was seen yesterday and was not seen today or you can’t find him again, then you need to get worried. But I believe it’s nearer 10 now.”
Meanwhile, Governor Seyi Makinde presented the preliminary report of the explosion to President Bola Tinubu over the weekend.
