Rivers State Government, yesterday, said that contrary to reports in the media, there was no bomb explosion at the banana plantation in Tai Local Government Area of the state.

Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Mr David Iyofor, in a statement, yesterday, said:  “We must state categorically that there was no bomb explosion at or within the perimeters of the banana plantation.

“We are aware that some sort of device went off but this was some reasonable distance away from our plantation and certainly not within the perimeters of the banana farm. We want to reassure all and sundry that Rivers State remains safe, conducive and open for business.”
