There was tension in the Okehi local government area of Kogi on Monday evening, as some suspected assailants reportedly blew off the administrative offices in the area.
Recall in January, Kogi had experienced a fatal explosion that was reportedly sponsored by the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād.
TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered the administrative offices are close to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in the local government area.
Also, properties worth millions of naira were razed down by the explosion. However, there was no loss of life, according to sources.
When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer in the area, Yakubu Ovanja, could not be reached at the time of filing this report.
The Kogi State Government has also not yet reacted to the development, as efforts made by our reporter to get their side of the story proved abortive.
Also, neither the state nor the affected local government have made any official statement either.
