Meanwhile, an explosion on Wednesday rocked Ushafa community, Abuja, near the Department of State Service (DSS) institute and around the exit pipe of the only dam supplying water to the entire FCT residence.

It was gathered that the explosion shook houses in the community to their foundations, especially those within the Usuma Dam quarters and the DSS institute within the axis.

Some farmers in the community had revealed that the explosion came from the quarry site around the only radio station in the area, Jordan FM.

They claimed that the quarry had started full operations despite petitions and queries from different quarters regarding their alleged illegal mining and the danger such will pose to the entire community.

It was gathered that the DSS had kicked against the quarry pointing out that the constant blasting of rocks and extreme noise within the area was a security threat.

The FCT Water Board had also raised the alarm over the impact of the quarry located just a few meters away from the lower part of the Dam that could trigger unimaginable disaster.

Lower Usuma Dam supplies water to FCT homes, including the presidency.

A source at the DSS institute told DailyPost that the activities of the quarry threatens the existence of the institute and poses a general security threat to the FCT due to the constant blasting that would be coming from there.
