Fear gripped Jabo village in Tambuwal Local Government Area, Sokoto State, on Christmas night after a sudden and terrifying explosion shattered the peace of the community.
Residents said the loud blast, believed to have come from a suspected explosive device, occurred without warning, sending villagers into panic as many fled their homes thinking an attack was underway. The object reportedly landed inside the community, sparking widespread confusion and fear.
In what many described as a miracle, no casualties were recorded, as the device did not explode within a crowd. A local resident confirmed the incident, saying the sound of the blast left people trembling with fear.
“It happened suddenly in the night. Everyone was scared. We thank God it did not fall where people were gathered,” the source said.
Security agencies have since been alerted and have launched investigations to uncover the source and true nature of the explosion. As of the time of filing this report, authorities have not confirmed whether the object was indeed an explosive device or how it entered the village.
The incident has raised serious concerns among residents, especially as Tambuwal Local Government Area has enjoyed relative peace in recent times. Locals are now calling for increased surveillance and a stronger security presence in rural communities.
Adding a dramatic twist to the unfolding mystery, fears are mounting that the explosion could be linked to recent statements by Donald Trump, who claimed the United States launched attacks in North West Nigeria to flush out terrorist groups operating in the region.
With no official explanation yet from security agencies, tension remains high as residents anxiously await answers over the explosive scare that turned Christmas night into a moment of terror.
