The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday expressed shock over the explosion that rocked a community in Akure, Ondo State.
An unspecified number of people were injured and houses destroyed in the explosion that trailed the crash of an explosives-laden truck in the Ondo State capital on Saturday morning.
The PDP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also urged the Federal Government to immediately set up an inter-agency panel to conduct a forensic investigation into the remote and immediate causes of the explosion, particularly the source of the reported explosives and the purpose they were meant to serve.
The party insisted that a forensic investigation is imperative given the spate of such explosions in various parts of the country in recent times.
