    It is a fact that methane gas is produced from rubbish dumps. In some exceptional circumstances this can cause an explosion. The BNI and Police should simply conduct tests for explosives.

    The suspected bomb should have killed those who were easing themselves in the bush. They should have summarized what they were doing in the bush.

    Though not confirmed as a bomb explosion, I will advise the community members to allay all fears and to stay calm. But should desist from picking strange objects from the ground.
