The explosion which happened at a community less than a kilometre to Akure Airport is currently causing traffic in the area as it cut off the busy Akure-Owo road.

               
           
               
                   

According to Nigerian Tribune, the blast affected many residents of Eleyowo community in the state, destroying close to one hundred houses, churches and a school with boarding facilities.

               
           
               
                   

Many people who lived within the church premises were reportedly injured while some were rescued by the people of the community.
