Some farmers, and residents who narrowly escaped being killed by the explosion, pointed out a quarry site around the area, revealing that the quarry had started full operations in early 2020 despite petitions and queries from different quarters regarding their alleged illegal mining and the danger such will pose to the entire community. The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Bwari Area Council, Mr Biodun Makanjuola, when contacted said the residents of the area have not filed a petition regarding the explosion, and that Police will swing into action once they receive a complaint from the residents.
