“Our nation cannot afford another form of criminality in view of the psychological trauma Nigerians are going through with bloodletting and killings in many states of the federation.” Police also say they have been to the area where the explosion occurred and are investigating the incident. It was gathered that an Improvised Explosive Device was thrown into his house by unknown persons from outside the compound.
