The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has debunked bomb explosion in the country’s capital city, saying the explosion that occurred near a refuse dump outside the Bureau of Public Enterprise premises in Maitama area of Abuja was not bomb related.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
She said a rapid response team and members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit was deployed to assess the situation after the alleged incident on Wednesday.
According to her, preliminary findings indicate that an overheated metal refuse container activated under intense heat, exploded, and injured two of the refuse evacuators.
She said the affected refuse evacuators were currently receiving medical attention in Maitama General Hospital.
Adeh urged the public to exercise caution and refrain from using metal refuse bins.
She advocated the use of plastic or rubber containers for waste disposal, as they pose a reduced risk of being over heated.
