As the explosions in Kano, Kano State were dying down yesterday, Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, became the theatre of more explosions.
Though details were still very sketchy as at press time, the explosions, in the home state of the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, reportedly happened close to Tombia Bridge.
The bridge is said to link Tombia with the state capital, Yenagoa.
No death has been recorded, sources said this morning.
But the link road between Tombia and Yenagoa has been cut off.
The state Governor, Timipre Sylva, who is still battling for a platform to seek re-election, has condemned the explosions.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ola Dofie, Sylva said: “The Government of Bayelsa State condemns in the strongest possible terms any attempt to return the state to the dark days of insecurity.
“The administration places high premium on peace and security and has invested so much to attain the peace and quiet that currently pervade the state.
“If there is anything that both friends and foes of the current administration agree on, it is the clear fact that Bayelsa State has since the inception of the Sylva-led government emerged from the darkness of insecurity into the marvellous light of peace and stability.
“It will be most callous of anyone to try to shatter this peace.”
