The PDP has expressed apprehensions and shock over the strange incident.

The party, in its reactions to the incident in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary, charged the Federal Government to immediately set up an inter-agency panel to conduct a forensic investigation into the remote and immediate causes of the explosion, particularly the source of the reported explosives and the purpose they were meant to serve.

The PDP insisted that a forensic investigation is imperative given the spate of such explosions in various parts of the country in recent time.
