Abuja Explosion: A Student Brought The Bomb To School – Eyewitness

On Monday, a tragic incident occurred at Sani Uthman Islamiyya School in Kuchibuyi Village, Bwari Area Council, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), when an explosive device, brought by a student, detonated, resulting in two deaths and leaving two others injured.

Eyewitnesses reported that the device was carried by a student who had recently traveled from Katsina State. The explosion happened when the boy attempted to show the object to another student, according to one witness. The student who brought the explosive died on the spot, while the second victim later passed away at the hospital due to the injuries sustained.

A young girl and another boy survived the blast and are currently receiving medical care. The girl is being treated at Kubwa General Hospital, while the boy was transferred to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital for further treatment.

In response to the incident, the Federal Capital Territory police immediately sealed off the school as they began their investigation. Josephine Adeh, the FCT Police Spokesperson, provided an update that slightly contradicted the eyewitness accounts. According to her statement, the police believe that three men from Katsina had visited the school’s owner, Mallam Adamu Ashimu, and were the ones who brought the explosive device. Two of the men were killed when the improvised explosive device (IED) detonated on the school’s veranda while they were handling it. The third man, along with a female vendor, was severely injured and is receiving medical treatment under police supervision.
