There was an explosion this morning under the Festac Link Bridge that killed a middle aged businessman, Oladele Pius. He was unfortunately passing under the bridge at the exact moment the explosion occurred. His body parts flew in different directions and police had to use shovel to scoop pieces of his body parts scattered around the scene into a bag. Sad! Mr Pius was the head of
the sand dredgers association in the area.
The police said it wasn't a bomb as earlier speculated, that what the bomb disposal unit found at the scene was battery put in a torchlight. They promised to investigate what really happened and find the people behind it. There are those who believe that Oladele Pius was targeted.
The man you see above was injured by the explosion. See the man who died in the explosion after the cut *viewers discretion advised*
This is so sad. RIP Mr Pius

ReplyDeleteShocking sights! So what brought about such an explosion? I know that's a very hard JAMB question for the police to decipher. This country! RIP to that unfortunate man.

DeletePls which one iz battery put in a Torchlight again??? So sad... RIP Pius... MYRAYA SAYS SO....
ReplyDeleteOh such a pity!!! If this is a prank, its too expensive!!!
ReplyDeleteOmg. So sad :(.
ReplyDeletePlease I am confused here........ Battery inside torchlight???? And that is what caused the explosion that killed the man? Which kind Yeye bomb squad is this?
ReplyDeleteLol. U go fear naija bomb squad na. Bomb squad my ass wey no fit investigate the actual cause of the bombing.
DeleteHey my people, don't blame the bomb squad. What they've said is what was seen at the location. They're not properly trained. So what do you expect? All the supposedly training funds are seating in politicians accounts in Ghana, South Africa, europe and America. So don't expect much crime scene analysis.
Deleterest in peace mr Pius
ReplyDeleteSeriously. The mystery of this incident will be the hardest inquisition for the Nigerian police. I tire for Naija. If government is not using state money for ridiculous (First Lady) thanksgiving celebrations, then it's no electricity, acid attack, bombings, kidnappings, accidents, irrelevant celebrity news....I quit.
ReplyDeletePlease what is the make of the battery? That might be the easiest answer to get out of this unfortunate incident.
ReplyDeleteNot backing up whatever the bomb squad said but are you aware that salt water(which can be found under a bridge) can cause a cell(battery) to explode under excessive pressure from say the space provided for batteries? Considering all these recent rechargeable torchlights, a small or medium scale explosion isn't far fetched in such areas..just putting in my 2 cents
ReplyDeleteIt's possible the man had been targeted. May his soul RIP. Police over to you.
ReplyDeleteTen Reasons Why Men Cheat
I beg somebody has bribed the police to cover this crime up.
ReplyDeleteHow can touch light inside battery ( or is it battery inside touch light ) blew a whole human being to pieces.
I don tire for Nigerian police.
Which kin country be this.
This is the most amazing thing I have heard this year.
This is just too much to absorb.
Pls ds police people had better start saying the truth, cos I don't see how battery put in a torchlight can cause an explosion let alone something of dis magnitude, God help us in ds country sha! RIP Mr Pius.
ReplyDeleteGod ll save us from man's wickedness to fellow man.
ReplyDeleteAbeg make everybody go buy gun,cuz I don't wer dis country is heading
ReplyDeleteif police had found battery at the sight of the explosion, so be it. We should sometimes trust our police. Salt water and battery can result into explosion. Linda, I think you should come out with packages that educate people aside from all these celebrity photos and news. People (kids) nowadays are dull.

ReplyDeleteNigeria! that injured guy should have been rushed to an emergency ward, but they left him there in dirt with his wounds open. I wonder how we think sometimes. God forbid he dies because of an infection. smh
ReplyDeleteas i heard, it was a parcel bomb probably targeted at the deceased.
ReplyDeleteBomb in lagos?oh lord the country is turning into something else.

VIEWERS DISCRETION ADVICED should be in the header madam
ReplyDeleteLagosians, to get to the bottom of this, the first step will be to find out who Mr. Pius has pissed off. Check list of his girlfriends, who among them is dating a Lagos big boy. I am sure we'll find some answers that will lead us in the right direction. GOVERNOR FASHOLA PLS LOOK INTO THIS. ...
ReplyDeleteWicked world
ReplyDeleteLinda Linda Linda. Na wa 4 u ooh. So u knw dlit comments & deir responses. Sum1 commented dat since Goldie's death u af bin slackin & replied 2 dat statement. All of a sudden d comment & reply af disappeared. Datz nt cool.
ReplyDeletePost diz one ooh.
Ryl Berry
look at how they are just looking at him.. are there not medical aid arround sighhhh
ReplyDeleteYou really expect the police to report 'A Bomb'? You want Fashola to sack someone? Everything is politics now in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if its a torchlight battery o, cos d sound of dat explosion was REALLY ALARMING. Its sounded so much like BOMB. Even tho d distance of d incident was a bit far frm were I was. God Help Nigeria/Nigerians. May d victims soul RIP.
ReplyDelete@Lindaikeji,now the police statement "The police said it wasn't a bomb as earlier speculated" Then what are they still waiting for? We Nigerians need to know what when wrong and the caused of the bumb explosion that kill Mr Pius. I know this will take them another decade to get us the report. What a country. So sad to hear this in lagos but urgent action must be the thing of the mind for Fashola and good people of Lagos.
