Okoye further reported that five vandals lost their lives, a fuel tanker was engulfed in flames, and significant damage occurred to numerous properties and farmlands.

Eyewitnesses, as cited by Channels Television, revealed that the explosion resulted from a clash between rival oil thieves during the loading of a crude oil tanker, leading to a gunfight.

Responding to this tragic event, the Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, swiftly established a highly skilled investigation team to ascertain the root cause of the incident and apprehend those responsible.

In a related development, in 2023, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ogun State reportedly apprehended seventy-seven (77) illegal miners at different locations. The Commandant of NSCDC in the state, David Ojelabi, disclosed this information during a January 31, 2024 interview.

Ojelabi highlighted that the NSCDC collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel to address the issue. Precautionary measures included sending letters to mining groups in the state, cautioning them against storing explosives in residential areas. This action was prompted by the recent Ibadan explosion, linked to explosives used by illegal miners.

Ojelabi explained that the easy access to explosives by these miners was facilitated by the porosity of the borders, through which many imported such devices. He further emphasized, “It is like asking how armed robbers are getting their rifles and so on. Wherever you have 12 sitting together, possibly you have one Judas among them.”
