\n
The new site-building of Hon Pascal Agbodike, the Deputy Speaker of the<\/div>\n
\n
Anambra State House of Assembly in Awka, the state capital, has been
\nrocked by a bomb explosion.<\/p>\n

The explosion according to source occurred at a building under
\nconstruction owned by the deputy speaker, located at the “Think Home
\nEstate Agu-Awka.<\/p>\n

However, there was no report of casualty, the source said the explosion
\ndamaged some structures at the on-going building construction in the
\narea.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the deputy speaker had already petitioned the Anambra
\nstate police command over the alleged explosion.<\/p>\n

A police source at the crime monitoring unit (CMU), Area Commander
\nAmawbia who confirmed the report, said a petitioner had been sent to the
\ncommissioner of the police officers, and the matter was referred to the
\nunit for investigation.<\/p>\n

According to the dependable police source, under the condition of
\nanonymity said the police are already investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

“We have started a preliminary investigation, but it is too early for us
\nto confirm whether it is a bomb explosion or not.<\/p>\n

“We have also discovered that it is not far from a land dispute that has
\nbeen lingering in court for years in which there are vested interests.<\/p>\n

“We have invited one of the suspects in the petition, he is here and the
\ndeputy speaker to come for face to face interview since morning but the
\nspeaker sent a text that he will be coming by 4 pm.<\/p>\n

“We want him also to produce those who are living witnesses during the
\nexplosion.<\/p>\n

“Those who will say yes, I was there or a neighbor who will say I heard
\nthe bang of the explosion since he said he was not there when the
\nincident happened.<\/p>\n

“They even came and said they wanted to remove the debris there, but we
\nasked them not to go near there for now.<\/p>\n

When this correspondent visited the scene of the incident, break layers
\nwere seen busy working at the new building under construction.<\/p>\n

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the property has been
\nunder contention.<\/p>\n

Three persons, the former Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University
\nAwka, Prof. Ilochi Okafor, Bekilo poultry, and Agricultural farms (WA)
\nlimited and Hon Pascal Agbodike, deputy speaker of Anambra State House
\nof Assembly were claiming ownership.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
