Contrary to initial reports, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, has said that the Monday explosion that occurred opposite a military cantonment in Abuja, was not an act of suicide bombing.
According to the FCT Minister, the victim of the explosion mistaken to be a suicide bomber was rather ignorantly conveying explosive material from a quarry site before it exploded.
Wike made the clarification during a project inspection on Wednesday in Abuja.
Recall that the explosion involving only one casualty had sparked panic in the nation’s seat of power.
