The Delta State Police Command has dismissed reports of a suicide bombing in the timber town of Sapele.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Bright Edafe said reports of the bomb explosion in the area were mere exaggeration of a mild incident.
Recall that reports of an alleged suicide bombing along Mission Road in Sapele on Tuesday evening had caused panic among residents of the area and neighbouring towns.
The reports claimed the suspect had his body parts flung around different parts of the scene.
Several persons were said to be hospitalised from injuries sustained in the incident.
However, the police spokesman said the incident was so insignificant that it did not get the attention of the Police in the area until media reports began flying around.
The PPRO said: “There was no bomb blast in Sapele. It was just an unnecessary exaggeration. It was just something mild, not a bomb. There was no casualty.”
