The actress alleged there were “too many dead bodies,” a claim which countered Governor Seyi Makinde’s statement that two died while 77 were injured.
On Wednesday, Aisha made a video of herself on Instagram singing in a car in appreciation to God. She said in the caption that she was fine and thanked everyone for their concern.
Makinde earlier said preliminary investigations revealed that the blast was caused by explosive devices stored in a building by illegal miners.
The governor told the media when he visited the scene of the explosion on Tuesday night that anyone found culpable would be brought to book.
“Preliminary investigations by the security agencies revealed that illegal miners occupying one of the houses in Bodija had stored explosive devices there which caused the blast. The investigations are ongoing. All those found culpable for this will be brought to book,” he wrote on social media.
