A press statement issued today explained that police received reports of a blast from a bottle exploding inside the school compound at 8:00am on Thursday.
A second bottle blew up 20 minutes later while officers were at the scene.
“The investigation so far has revealed that what exploded was a ‘PET’ bottle, there was no trace of petrol in the bottle and it was not made with any kind of explosive substance,” reads the police statement.
