Nigeria - According to the Usman Audu, the deputy commissioner of police in Adamawa, the blast that occurred in Yola on Thursday was caused by a grenade belonging to the military.
There were reports earlier that the explosion was one of Boko Haram's numerous attacks.
“The military grenade was picked from dustbin by some young boys who, I believe, were playing with it,” he said.
“In the process, one of them pulled the trigger and it started smoking. They threw it away but the blast injured one of the boys slightly on his left foot. The two boys are right now with us. The blast is not Boko Haram attack as being speculated.”
He urged parents to caution their wards against going about picking strange objects.
“I also want to appeal to the public, particularly operators of business premises, to always inspect their premises first thing in the morning. They should not hesitate to report any strange object sighted to the police,” he added.
