The Kaduna State Police Command on Sunday clarified that the explosion reported at Mando Motor Park, was not a bomb blast but a minor incident involving a gas-powered vehicle.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, said in a statement that the incident occurred at about 3:00a.m. on Sunday at the premises of Silver Luxury Travel, a bus company operating at Mando Garage, Kaduna.
He said detectives were immediately deployed to the scene after a loud sound was reported.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the incident involved a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered luxury bus belonging to Silver Luxury Travel, which exploded due to overfilling of its gas tank,” he said.
Hassan added that the affected vehicle had been evacuated to a safe location, while the area was secured by security personnel.
He noted that no casualties or loss of property were recorded, and normal activities had since resumed in the area.
He added that operatives of the Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit were also deployed to the scene as a precautionary measure.
The police spokesperson urged members of the public to verify information before sharing, especially on security-related matters, to avoid unnecessary panic.
