A one-year-old baby is feared dead, several others wounded following an explosion which reportedly occurred at Eke Ozi market in Enugu State, on Friday. TribuneNG reports the incident which occurred at about 2:00p.m few meters to a
divisional police headquarters, was suspected to be a bomb blast and it made market women and traders run for safety.

Reports say the baby was trampled upon, while hoodlums had a field day looting shops,
during the stampede, which lasted for a while. Although commercial activities had resumed in the market when Saturday Tribune visited the scene, several traders were  seen lamenting  their  loss.

It was gathered that the people of the area had been apprehensive, since the reports that some people suspected to belong to the   Boko Hram sect were arrested at Obolo Afor community by the police last month. Both Enugu Ezike and Obolo Afor are border towns between  Benue and Enugu states.
Attempts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amarizu for comment proved abortive
