Residents of Tema Community Five residential area where there was a bomb blast last Saturday, are blaming the erstwhile P(NDC) government led by Jerry John Rawlings for putting Commandos there.
According to The Daily Guide, the residents say most of the commandos who stayed around the area during the PNDC revolutionary era were always armed and therefore were of the firm belief that some of the commandos might have planted the bomb there.
A resident, Mr Kwabena Sey, believed that the explosives might have been buried in the soil by some of the commandos who lived in the vicinity in the eighties during the revolution.
He expressed fears that several of such explosives might have been buried in the area. A centenarian, Kwadwo Adu, was however of the firm belief that the bombs might have been buried long time before the houses were built in the area but many residents that the paper spoke to rejected such claims.
The Guide carries that on Saturday July 28, 2001 afternoon, a bomb blasted at a Community Five residence, shattered louver blades and caused cracks in nearby buildings.
Preliminary investigations led to the discovery of a one-foot long and four-inch diameter cast-iron resting at the compound of the next house.
