A suspected bomb factory has been uncovered in Iddo, Okpella, in Estako East local government area of Edo State after one of the explosives exploded.

One of the suspected bomb makers was killed in the explosion.

One of the victim’s legs was also chopped off by the blast.

The building where the suspected bombs were manufactured is a three- bedroom apartment which the villagers said was occupied by some men from Kogi State.

Eyewitnesses said they ran for safety when they heard the explosion on Monday evening.

Identity of the victim has not been ascertained at the time of filing this report.

A source in the village said youths in the area mobilised and nabbed some occupants in the building

One of the occupants, who reportedly escaped with a car loaded with prepared explosives, arms and ammunitions, abandoned the vehicle along a bush path and fled.

President of Iddo Youth Movement, Mohammad Mohammad, said: “We all came out when we heard the sound and informed the people that explosion killed somebody. When we got to the place one of the occupants we met immediately escaped in a vehicle. So the youths gave him a hot chase shouting that he had killed somebody and he was subsequently arrested and taken to the Divisional Police Officer before his onward transfer to the area commander.”

Wife of one of the suspects and her children were also taken into custody.

Empty cans and other explosive making materials littered the apartment when our correspondent visited the place on Tuesday.
