The explosion in Port Harcourt this morning was neither a bomb nor Boko Haram. The Rivers State governor say the explosion was caused by armed robbers who were on their way to rob, with guns and dynamites in their bus. They were smoking in the bus as they were going to rob, and as God would have it, fire from the cigarettes triggered the dynamite in their bus to explode, killing only the driver. The three other robbers in the bus survived and were immediately arrested by police.

better oo,tot it was boko haram,cos the just have to remain where they are and keep destroying themselves,since they ve decided not to have till the end of live.
Ok good, cos I was becoming scared, my house is close by. Thanks for the real info.
Linda am sure it's a bomb. Rivers state govt can cover things. They are too coded
May God Help us all ooo
It's a pity. May their souls rest in peace.
it wasnt a petrol tanker either, i was a bus that had dynamite and some ak 47s, it was for armed robbers obviuosly on der way to cause havoc somewhr, and nemesis caught up wiv them, the two supposedly dead were also armed robbers, so i guess we can celebrate in PH. yaayy!!!
sorry about the two people that died. But it's such a relief it is not boko haram.
My fam is in PH and most people i have known all my life. the thought of the menace called boko haram moving to that area scares the socks off of me
Correct dis notion it is not 2 dead but 1 confirmed dead while 3 others r hospitalised , 2ndly it was not a petrol tanker it was only a bus which had som hoodlums wit Ak47 weapons wit live catridges
Wow!!!! BH don enter east.....God help us!!!!
Isn't that he bus with the armed robbers?
it is wrong to conclude too early that its not Boko Haram,police should be allowed to conclude investigation The tanker driver should be identified and seperated from sucide bomber because boko haram members are mostly tanker drivers.it started in this form in the North
Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state just from the Explosion Scene confirmed live on 95.9 cool FM and channels TV that the explosion was not initiated by a bomb but a mistake by a group of armed robbers riding in the bus who apparently ignited their ammunition while smoking.
Only the driver and one of the occupants were killed, other 2 occupants are in hospital in police custody.
3 AK47 rifles were recovered from the vehicle. No crater was created by the explosion, proving it wasn't a bomb; no shrapnel, no shock wave as by standers were not affected.
This coroborates eye-witness reports already received.
He reassures PHC dwellers that govt is doing enough to keep the city safe from terrorism and warns against presumptuous reprisal attacks and undue sensationalism in the social media.
May deir soul rest in perfect peace.

That's some serious bullsh*t.. Cigarrete smoke/fire lighting a dynamite? Have u seen a dynamite? It's not somethiing that gets triggered by mistake.

Just security and nothing more is needed in niaja
I need to see those so-called robbers' faces. I wonder where they were going to rob with all those ammunitions.
First of all linda, I was @ d scene wen d bus exploded. A part of d bus even touched me and I was dere even wen the police arrived and the press. We never heard @ d scene dat dey were armed robbers till I heard d news via blackberry. I was still @ d scene wen d report dat dey were robbers on a mission. I took lots of pics and trust me d govt is covering up a lot.
