A suicide bomber on Tuesday blew himself to pieces opposite the popular Eke Market, Afikpo in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
A source told the news media that the bomber was refused entry into a primary school before he ran into a bush nearby.
“He made an attempt at entering Amaizu/Amangballa Primary School but was turned back by the school security since he couldn’t justify his reason for visiting. He immediately started running inside a nearby bush before a big bang was heard,” the source said.
The incident has raised tension in the area.
Commissioner for internal security and border peace Stanley Okoro-Emegha confirmed the incident but said he did not have details.
