The crater caused by the Ondo explosion in Nigeria

On March 28 morning, a massive explosion rocked a suburb of the city of Akure, the capital of the southern Nigerian State of Ondo.

According to Nigerian sources, the explosion split Akure-Owo road and inflicted serious damage on dozens of houses, 50 to 100, as well as a school and churches.

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, revealed that the explosion was a an accident. According to the governor, a fire broke out in a vehicle within a convoy transporting explosives to a storage facility in a neighboring state, which caused the explosion.

"Security personnel and other individuals transporting the ordinances noticed smoke from the vehicle. After several attempts to extinguish the resulting fire failed, the vehicle and its consignment ignited causing a massive explosion that was felt in Akure and its environs," Akeredolu said, according to Punch, adding "I have directed that the area be cordoned off to allow the explosive ordinance department/bomb squad to extricate the vehicle buried underground because it is unclear if there are still explosives that are yet to be detonated."

Initial, the massive explosion was thought to be caused by a terrorist attack with a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) or even a small asteroid impact.

Nigerian authorities are now searching for any possible casualties of the explosion. Local source reported no missing people or deaths after the incident.

Comment: There are conflicting reports. According to some reports, the crater was caused by a meteor impact!

The explosion that rocked Akure, Ondo state capital, on Saturday, was caused by a giant rock from space known as meteors, a team of experts have concluded.

A meteor is what happens when a meteoroid - a small piece of an asteroid - burns up upon entering earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light in the sky.

The experts led by Adepelumi Adekunle, a professor of geophysics and earthquake engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, said the meteors impacted the location from "an angle of 43 degrees".

Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of the state, had told journalists the blast occurred after a truck conveying explosives to a quarry exploded.

"I have been briefed by the security chiefs that in the early hours of Saturday March 28th, a vehicle in a convoy transporting explosives to a storage facility in a neighbouring state developed a fault while in transit along the Akure Owo Road about 2km from the Akure Airport," the governor had said.

But Adekunle said findings by his team suggest the explosion was caused by a natural phenomena, thereby contradicting the governor.

He added there was no evidence of a buried vehicle, buried ordinance or explosives from the site, and that "foreign rocks and strange metallic objects" were found within the crater crated.

His report read: "My Research group carried out a detailed analysis of the impact site. A circular impact crater with 21m diameter and 7.8m depth was found which suggest a natural phenomenal.

"Water was found oozing out from the edges of the crater. A preliminary in situ vibration, noise, seismicity, water analysis, radioactivity studies, rock and soil investigation were carried out.

"Our findings suggest that the impact of the blasting covers 1km radius of the surroundings of the crater. No evidence of fire or Burning of anything was found within the vicinity.

"No evidence of radioactivity radiation was found within the crater and immediate vicinity. The field evidence point to a conclusion that a meteoric from an asteroid belt that travels at a great speed from space impacted the location at an angle of 43 degrees created an ejecta at South-Western part."

this is just appetizer wait till we get the real lights & sound effects.

Revelation 16:21

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone]

about the weight of a talent 141lb : and men blasphemed God because of the

plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Questions re 'official' 'truck explosion story"

1) Why did they first claim it was a gas pipe explosion? There's obvious differences between the two types of explosions.

2) Why and how did the truck driver survive an explosion that huge?

3) Where is the frigging truck? (Trucks blow up on the surface do not get buried out of view UNDER the blast crater; NOR should one expect to find them under Flight 93 in Shanksville PA.)

Rowan Cocoan That's the same type of question that were asked after the "chemical explosion" in Syria.

How did those people survive?

How are they tending to the injured without suits on?

How is the impact crater of a bomb look like a pot hole?

How does water clean of chemicals? It's not a neutralising agent?

Then there is always the flight 93 dilemma of no wreckage or remains due to.

The original post i read, i do not recall any mention of gas pipe explosion just truck explosion, the explosion intersected the main road. So why would there be a oil pipe near the road?.. That ain't an explosion from a truck .

worrall I see that there was a gas explosion in Lagos, Nigeria, but I recalled seeing that. I may have erred. If so, apologies.

As re the 'official story", well, it seems to change enough to cause reasonable minds to wonder about it.

After all, NOW they're calling it a bomb: "50 houses destroyed in Ondo bomb explosion." [Link]
Thus, of the sundry theories, I'm going to stick with the meteorite for now. (Most media misrepresents even if it wishes not to. However, since 9/11/01, IMHO, the most important media lies have been intentional.)

While the plandemia is keeping 1/3 of Earth's population* indoor, and growing (...) Meteors are on the rise and Climate Change is still unfolding. As a firm believer and researcher on Planet X (aka P9, Wormwood, Nibiru or dozens of other names which all stand for a cyclical ''concept'' rather than a singular object) I'm starting to think that this might be It...

It's been detated for quite some time now that the PTB would try to mitigate and even conceal as much as possible the appearance of a huge celestial body entering our solar system. Blaming it all on climate change and meteorites if needed...

I am in no way a religious person, but a spiritual one. I've stumbled on this recent video (yes.. the religious overtones can be annoying) and the footage seems legit. If anyone watched Melancholia, the same phenomenon is at work here (not implying by any means a collision though).

Lets hope I'm dead wrong!
