“A rapid response team and members of the explosive ordnance disposal unit were deployed to assess the situation and preliminary findings indicate that an overheated metal refuse container activated under intense heat, exploded, thereby causing injury to two of the refuse evacuator, who are currently receiving medical attention in Maitama general hospital.

“The FCT police command urges members of the public to exercise caution and refrain from using metal refuse bins.”

She urged members of the public to use plastic or rubber containers for refuse disposal, adding that they have less risk level of overheating.
