The Command’s Public Relations Officer, William Aya, who confirmed the incident, said there was no casualty.
“As it is now, there is no casualty, but only chairs and tables and the building is affected by the yet to be determined nature of the explosion.
“Already the Commissioner of Police, Mr Edward Egbuka, has directed our DC Investigations and the Bomb detective Squad to move to the scene to ascertain the very nature of the explosion.
“The police are on top of the situation as our officers and men drafted to the area have cordoned the place until an investigation reveals the real cause of the explosion.
“It’s very unfortunate that criminal elements are out to disrupt the prevailing peace we are enjoying in Kogi.
“We shall not rest until we bring to book such elements and let them see the need for maintenance of peace in our society,” he warned.
Meanwhile the first explosion which happened on May 11 at a beer parlour around Lewu Junction in Kabba Town generated controversies as it wasn’t certain whether it was a bomb or a gas cylinder that caused the explosion.
The incident claimed three lives out of the 16 persons affected.
