BokoHaram attack Benin

There was pandemonium in Benin,
yesterday, as an explosion destroyed about
five houses in Sakponba area of Edo State
capital city.
Residents of Zomi Zomi Street in Upper
Sakpoba Road ran for safety when they heard
the loud noise that came
with the explosion
at about 3p.m., as many claimed that Boko
Haram insurgents had invaded the city.
A police source at the scene informed
Vanguard: “We learned that the bungalow
where the bomb detonated was being used
as a hide out for kidnappers some months
ago. But a combined unit of soldiers and
police invaded the place and arrested the
suspects.
“So recently, somebody hired the building
and just this afternoon, decided to burn
refuse in the compound. He set the refuse on
fire and went out to buy something.
“Immediately he left, the bomb exploded. He
was not aware that the kidnappers, who once
used the house, had left some bombs
behind.”
At press time, bomb disposal experts from
the Edo State Police Command have
cordoned off the building, trying to ascertain
if more bombs were still inside.
