UPDATED: Policeman not suicide bomber killed in Ebonyi explosion – Police

91 Comments / General / By

The Police in Ebonyi state have debunked reports that the man who was killed in an explosion on Tuesday in Afikpo, Ebonyi State is a suicide bomber.

The Spokesperson of the Police in Ebonyi state, Loveth Odah said the victim of the blast is a Policeman on duty in the area.

She said the policeman was a Mobile Police Officer on special deployment to Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

She said the officer, Mr Idi Aminu died as a result of an accidental hand grenade explosion.

The incident which occurred opposite Amizi Amangbala Primary School in Afikpo North threw the area into panic as passersby scampered for safety.

Residents believe he was a suicide bomber but Mrs. Odah said he was an Inspector of Police.

“He mistakenly hit the lead of his grenade which was hanging on his waist with his elbow resulting in the deadly explosion,” she said.

She noted that the police officer was an operative of MOPOL 32 and not a suicide bomber as being circulated in the social media.

The spokesperson said his remains had been evacuated to a mortuary.

Mrs. Odah cleared the air on alleged accidental discharge by a police officer at Government House Abakaliki.

She pointed out that though a bullet accidentally fired from an AK-47 rifle when police officers posted to the gate were cleaning their firearms, it never hurt or killed any of them.

Sources in the Afikpo had told Reporters that the incident happened around 12 noon when the man tried to gain access into a school.

    First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which
    I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
    Cheers!

    Everything published made a lot of sense. However, what
    about this? what if you were to create a awesome title?
    I ain’t saying your information is not good, but what if you added a title that grabbed
    people’s attention? I mean UPDATED: Policeman not suicide bomber killed in Ebonyi
    explosion – Police – Igbo People's Union is kinda vanilla.
    You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news titles to
    grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to
    grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.

    Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting
    a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to
    get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    When someone writes an post he/she maintains the image of a user in his/her mind that how a
    user can be aware of it. Thus that’s why this paragraph is amazing.

    Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite
    reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just don’t know
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect
    , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
