Politician’s car bombed in Lagos* Its a lie-Police

The Lagos State Police Command have diffused and dispelled fear over the rumoured planting of bomb on a politician’s car at the Ajegunle area of the state.

According to police authourities, there was only an explosion closed to the politician’s car.
Police spokesman, Kenneth Nwosu said that Anti-bomb personnel had visited the scene and taken sample particles for forensic analysis.

He said: “The so called Alhaji said he went to his friend house, on his way out, he heard explosion by his car. Our men was there to gather some particles and taken the particles for analysis. As speak with you, nobody was injured and nothing damaged. We’re still investigating the incident. It was the tyre side of the vehicle that had little damage and the car is parked in the police station right now.”

An eye witness said that the car was parked on a street in the area when residents heard a loud explosion and saw smoke billowing from the car.

The first news that travelled like wildfire was that the car exploded, but when police got there, only part of it was affected.

The politician, Alhaji Simba, was the person who alerted the police. His supporters feared that his political opponents were attempting to snuff out his life.

Before the arrival of the Bomb Squad, Policemen from Ajegunle Police Station have dashed to the scene.

A police source said: “Nobody was injured but we alerted the Anti-Bomb Unit. The team was led
by an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mr. Imo Sunday. They went to the scene and examined the car. They also took some particles. For now, we’re not going to say whether it’s a bomb that exploded or not.
“We’re going to use our laboratory and text the objects we took from the scene to know whether it was a bomb or not. It’s from our forensic analyses that we’ll know.”

A police corporal said: “We don’t think it’s a bomb. But the politician thinks it is. Thus we have to investigate.”
