BREAKING: Suicide Bomber Explodes In Ebonyi (Video)

A suicide bomber has blown to pieces when a suicide vest he was wearing exploded on his body.
The incident happened in Afikpo town, Afikpo local government area of Ebonyi state.
A source in the area said the incident happened about 12noon.
The suicide bomber was said to have the intention of blowing up school children, but the bomb exploded before he could get to the school gate.
According to the source, “He made an attempt at entering Amaizu/ Amangballa Primary School but was turned back by the school security since he couldn’t justify his reason for visiting. He immediately started running inside a nearby bush before a big bang was heard.”
