A source, who confided in our reporter over the incident, said they were not sure what exactly triggered the explosion.

“All we knew was that the sound of the explosion was so strong, which made us to believe that it could not have been the sound of a gun or a burst vehicle tyre.

“In fact, the sound of the explosion caused panic in the community and led some persons who were resting outside their houses. We attempted to verify what the cause of the explosion was after some hours of the incidence, but fear could not allow us to go out towards the scene of the blast”, hinted the source who spoke on the condition that he would not be named in the print.
