The Ebonyi state police command has said that the man killed in an explosion on Tuesday, May 25 in Afikpo, Ebonyi State is a policeman and not a suicide bomber as claimed by many.
Recall that an explosion which occurred opposite Amizi Amangbala Primary School in Afikpo North threw the area into panic as passersby scampered for safety.
According to The Nation, some residents in Afikpo had said that the incident happened around 12 noon when the man tried to gain access into a school.
“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,” a resident said earlier.
