A bomb explosion has destroyed a newly constructed bungalow in Umuneke, Mbieri, located in the Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.
The blast which occurred on Saturday night, News Band gathered, left the community in a state of fear.
Though, the cause of the explosion at the time of filing this report, is not known.
According to sources, the house had only recently been completed, with the owners planning to move in by February of this year.
A source said, “We just heard a massive sound, which was heard in other villages. When we gathered the nerves to check the cause of the sound, we saw the newly completed bungalow in rubble.

“The painful part is that the couple worked hard to build their house and planned to move in February. We still don‘t know what caused the explosion, but it doesn‘t look ordinary.
“We slept last night with one eye open, but we‘re hoping to get information on what really happened. Hopefully, when the owners come, they will authorise a proper inspection of the house.”
Meanwhile, Imo State police command is yet to issue a statement in respect to the development.
