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.
