Ebonyi: Police says officer blew himself up not a suicide bomber
She identified the police personnel as Idi Aminu, noting that the victim was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The police has debunked as false, the report that a suicide bomber blew himself up in Afikpo North, Ebonyi State saying that it was a MOPOL officer that mistakenly killed himself.
This is according to the spokesperson of the Ebonyi State Police Command, Loveth Odah who stated this during a briefing in Abakaliki.
She identified the police personnel as Idi Aminu, noting that the victim was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The incident happened in Afikpo town of Afikpo North Local Government Area of the state with sources saying the incident happened around 12 noon.
Resident scampered for safety when the grenade exploded but reconvened at the scene of the incident a few minutes after only to discover the suspected suicide bomber laying dead in the pull of his own blood.
But the police spokesman debunked the reports, saying the victim was personnel of the State Police Command.
However, the statement by the police leaves a lot of questions than answers as an analysis of what’s left of the person after the blast doesn’t suggest he’s an officer.
His dressing doesn’t in anyway, suggest he’s a mobile police man.
