Policemen in
Edo state have arrested some suspected criminals at a bomb factory in
Iddo, Okpella, in Estako East local government area of Edo State after
an explosion in the area.
A report by the Nation revealed that those arrested were bomb
makers. Some of the suspects were killed in the explosion while another
person’s leg was also chopped off by the blast.
The building where the suspected bombs were manufactured is a
three- bedroom apartment which the villagers said was occupied by some
men from Kogi State.
Eyewitnesses said they ran for safety when they heard the explosion
on Monday evening. One of the occupants, who reportedly escaped with a
car loaded with prepared explosives, arms and ammunitions, abandoned the
vehicle along a bush path and fled.
