A suicide bomber has been blown into pieces when a suicide vest he was wearing exploded on his body. The incident happened in Afikpo town, Afikpo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. A resident in the area said the incident happened around 12 noon.
“He made an
attempt at entering Amaizu/ Amangballa Primary School but was turned back by
the school security since he couldn’t justify his reason for visiting. He
immediately started running inside a nearby bush before a big bang was heard,”
the resident said.
People around
the area scampered for safety when the bomb exploded, he said.
They,
however, went to the scene of the incident a few minutes later, only to
discover the suspected suicide bomber lying dead in a pool of his blood.
The upper
part of the suspected suicide bomber’s body was completely destroyed from the
impact of the bomb.
The incident,
which occurred close to the Eke Market, Afikpo, said to be the biggest market
in the area, caused panic in the community.
The
Commissioner for Internal Security in Ebonyi State, Stanley Okoro confirmed the
incident, but said he was yet to get details of what happened.
A fire has
erupted from the beach at Okun in Ajah, the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State,
Eyewitnesses say the fire is caused by a burst pipeline.
