Lagos State Police Commissioner Tijani Fatai stated on June 25 that the explosion in Mushin three days earlier resulted from mechanical failure, not an explosive device.
Lagos police have determined the cause of a recent explosion in the Mushin area. Commissioner Tijani Fatai shared the findings at a press briefing on June 25. The incident occurred three days earlier at number 19 Way Street.
Investigators from the force's specialist unit ruled out any explosive device after detailed analysis. They identified a failure in a mechanical part under pressure as the source. This led to shattered glass on a vehicle and slight harm to its occupant.
The commissioner emphasized that the event posed no security risk. He confirmed the matter is now treated as a non-criminal mechanical explosion. Fatai praised emergency teams for their quick work and asked citizens to stay alert.
