ABUJA – There was palpable tension at the Ministry of Justice complex situated at the Central Business District of Abuja,Thursday, following an alleged tip-off by persons suspected to be members of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, warning that series of bombs that had been planted in the building would be detonated within the vicinity.
Though it was gathered that the anonymous informant hinted that the first bomb would go off at the Bayelsa State House which is a stone throw from the Ministry of Justice complex, he however, warned that workers at the ministry should vacate the premises immediately, insisting that the high powered explosives, he said were laid around the area, might occasion large number of casualties if the warning was not heeded.
Barely few minutes after the rumour filtered in at about 11a.m. yesterday, pandemonium broke out at both the Justice Ministry and its neighbouring buildings, as workers scampered for their dear lives.
