Thursday, Federal Road Safety officials conducted an investigation,
the culprits were discovered- 4 boys aged between nine and 15 years
who were paid N2,500 by Boko Haram to bomb Yola Barracks. According to
"Punch", the bags containing the explosives was too heavy for the boys
to carry, and so they sold it to a dustbin scavenger, whom they ran
into at the nearby mechanic workshop.
As the scavenger was negotiating with the four boys, he began to
notice smoke coming from it and as he was about to inquire about its
content, it exploded, shattering his legs and injuring two of the
children.
The remaining two children who were unharmed, subsequently ran away.
Police arrested the the two injured children.
It was while in police custody that the children confessed.
