Both the dead and injured victims of the explosion are believed to he security men.

It came amid the tight security mounted in and around Okene ahead of President Buhari’s visit.

In fact , all vehicular movements from South West and South -South through Okene to other parts of Nigeria were blocked since about 6:30am while residents were also restricted to their residential areas.

The state government had earlier declared today as a public holiday to give the President a rousing welcome to the state.

While in Kogi State, the president is scheduled to inaugurate six projects , two of which are located in Okene and its environ.

Eye witnesses said the explosion came from a vehicle driven by a man.

The state police command is yet to react to the development.
