The incident reportedly happened at around 12.00pm on Tuesday.

A source made it known that the suicide bomber 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,” he said.

Stanley Okoro the commissioner for Internal Security confirmed the incident but noted that he was yet to get details if what happened.

The upper part of the suspected suicide bomber’s body was completely destroyed from the impact of the bomb.

Residents scampered to safety when the bomb exploded and later regrouped to see what has happened.
