A Toxic Chemical Suspected To Be Used In
Making Bombs Exploded Recently Causing
Environmental Hazards And Injuring some
people.. This All Happened Some days ago in
Umudim, A village Located in Ukwa-East Local
Government Area Of Abia State .
The Man who was responsible for the explosion is
currently in police custody. According to An Eye
witness, The man normally filled the chemicals into
gas cylinders, hid them in the bush and probably
sold the chemicals in these gas cylinders. After
Checking the chemicals, it was ascertained that the
chemical was one of the chemicals used in
manufacturing bombs (such as the Cannon or
"Ogbunigwe" as called by the igbo's) during the
Nigerian Civil War. The suspect was transferring the
toxic chemicals into the gas cylinders when one of
the cylinders broke. On knowing the kind of danger
that the chemical could cause, The suspect allegedly
took to his heels but was lynched by some youths
who wanted to beat him up but later called others to
the scene of the explosion and subsequently handed
the suspect to the police. The area was also said to
have been inspected by health workers after the
chemical totally destroyed trees and vegetation
around . Those who sustained injuries due to the
explosion were taken to an undisclosed hospital. One
of the men who made a statement at the police
station said that a police officer said in pidgin "if
the man talk better thing, we got release am".
