On Wednesday, she posted a video on Instagram, singing in a car, expressing her gratitude to God and reassuring everyone of her well-being.
Governor Makinde had earlier disclosed that preliminary investigations pointed to explosive devices stored by illegal miners in a building as the cause of the blast. He affirmed that anyone found responsible would face legal consequences. Makinde’s social media post stated, “Preliminary investigations by the security agencies revealed that illegal miners occupying one of the houses in Bodija had stored explosive devices there which caused the blast. The investigations are ongoing. All those found culpable for this will be brought to book.”
