An unidentified eyewitness who spoke to the online news platform described the explosion as "deafening."
The source said, “I was part of a group of people that was about to make cash withdrawal at CBN building in Calabar this afternoon.
“Suddenly, there was an explosion within the CBN premises that caused heavy casualties. Ambulances were used to convey people to various hospitals
