He told the police that while they were negotiating with the four bearers of the container, he started noticing smoke coming from it and before he could inquire about its content, it exploded, shattering his legs and injuring two of the children.
While two of them fled, the other injured two were arrested by the police.
The police source also revealed that in the ensuing confusion that followed the loud bang from the blast, two of the bearers sneaked away from the scene of the blast.
It will be recalled just a month ago, there was a bomb attack at a night market in Yola that led to the death of many persons.
