The FCT Police Command has reacted to reports of an explosion in the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory.

In a series of tweets via X on Wednesday, some residents attributed the incident to bomb.

But the FCT police command in a statement by its Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the incident was as a result of an overheated metal refuse bin.

“The FCT Police Command hereby wishes to update the public on an alleged explosion on 24/01/2024 at about 1145 hrs, near a refuse dump outside the Bureau of Public Enterprise premises in Maitama, Abuja.”


“A rapid response team and of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit was deployed to assess the situation and preliminary findings indicate than an overheated metal refuse container activated under intense heat, exploded, thereby causing injury to two of the refuse evacuator, who are currently receiving medical attention in Maitama General Hospital.

“The FCT Police Command urges of the public to exercise caution and refrain from using metal refuse bins. Instead, we recommend the use of plastic or rubber containers for waste disposal, as they pose a reduced risk of incidents related to overheated metal refuse containers,” the statement said.

Metal can indeed explode.

I hope all Tinubu ers will blame Tinubu as they blamed Jonathan

Samuel Nwanosike, please check if this one is linked to Sim Card.
Wike should immediately call Nwanosike the police detective to know what, where, why and who is involved in this incident. This your private detective is more active than the conventional police.

Meanwhile, this is my first time in my whole life to hear that dust bin, be it metal or plastic do overheat to the extent of exploding to the magnitude of causing harm.
God save us from the lies from Nigeria Police and APC.

Ok
