The eyewitness, Friday Frayo, who got injured in the explosion, said, “I took something in a black nylon thinking it was something I kept around the place, but I saw a device reading round clock very fast and I immediately threw it away.

“The device exploded in a second after throwing it away and I got injured by the debris of the explosion.”
