No explosion occurred in Lagos on Friday, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Olohundare Jimoh, has declared.
The police boss made the declaration against the backdrop of the claims circulating on social media that there was an explosion incident in the state on Friday.
The denial was made in a statement on Saturday by the Lagos State police command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.
“The Command in Lagos State confirms that no explosion incident was recorded in any part of the state,” he said.

The incident, he said, was under investigation.
He said proactive measures had been taken to ensure safety for business and daily activities in the state.
He therefore called on people of the state to go about their lawful activities without fear.
He also warned bloggers and social media users to avoid spreading false information that could cause panic.
