At least three people were killed and dozens were injured on Tuesday, when explosives stored at a private residence detonated in Nigeria’s Oyo state, its governor said on Wednesday. The neighbourhood of Ibadan, which is the capital of Oyo state, is about 130 kilometres from the country’s commercial capital of Lagos.
