Two of the boys who were later arrested by the police said the bag containing the explosive was too heavy for them to
carry, so they had to sell it to a dustbin scavenger, whom they ran into at the
nearby mechanic workshop. The
dustbin scavenger who was also arrested with the children has been helping the police with more information.
A
resident, Abraham Tunoh, also confirmed the claim saying the bomb which
occurred on Thursday was in possession of four children.
