UPDATE: 3 Suspects Arrested Over Enugu Bomb Explosion
Twin explosions just hit Enugu Saturday morning as residents filled out to cast their votes in the Local Government election holding today in the State.
The explosions occurred simultaneously at Coal Camp in Enugu North Local Government Area and Obeagu in Enugu-South Council Area.
According to Daily Post a team led by the Enugu Commissioner of police arrested three suspects over the Obeagu explosion.
Confirming the incident, the spokesman of Enugu police command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu said “the incident of minor explosion at a spareparts workshop at the entrance in the morning of 4/11/17 leading to a polling station at coal camp axis of Enugu State did not interfere with the voting activities at the polling Centre as the process is still on course there.
“There was a reported incident of explosion in the morning of 4/11/17 at the coal camp axis, which is an enclave of artisans like welders, mechanics, auto electricians amongst others.
“No life was lost just as operatives of the Explosive Ordinance Department of the Enugu state command of the Nigeria Police Force were on hand to to conduct analysis with a view to finding out the possible cause of the explosion at the workshop and its nature and as well as possible circumstance amongst others.”
The caretaker committee chairman of Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, Mr. Sunday Ugwu, while reacting to the blast, described it as unfortunate.
He applauded the police for their prompt response, assuring that it would not affect the exercise as “our people are very enthusiastic to vote.”
Meanwhile, voting has commenced in most of the council areas across the State but with very low turnout of voters.
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi voted around 11:30 a.m in his Orba ward in Udenu Council Area.

But I said and I keep saying, Its better not to come out on the voting day, in the first place, Buhari is sending 24 thousand Hausa police men, to poling stations in Anambra State, come Nov. 18, Please my people, stay at home, a lot will happen that day. Let the policemen cast the franchise. 24 thousand people is enough to make a state. Those police men are all Bokoharam members. They will set bombs all over the polling stations, at night, when you people are sleeping. They will make sure they eliminate the Ibos, Bomb, shooting, and unlawful arrests. Ukpana Okpoko buru, bu nke nti chiri. A word is enough for a wise. Who die,wont wake again.
