Police in collaboration with the Tanzania People’s Defense Forces on Saturday September 17, have defused a bomb that was planted inside NMB Bank, Shinyanga branch.
The bomb, which if it had exploded would have caused serious damage including loss of life and property, was found in a special area used by bulk cash customers.
Shinyanga Regional Police Commander, Janeth Magomi has confirmed the incident, adding that key suspect has already been arrested by the Police.
"We have already arrested the suspect and the bomb was already been detonated by TPDF experts before it could harm anyone," said Commander Magomi on phone.
She did not, however, say what type of explosive the officers had found at the scene of crime.
Witnesses say the incident took place at around 1:00pm at NMB Manonga Shinyanga branch, after a person estimated to be around 60 years old entered with a black briefcase and a long gray coat.
One of the witnesses, Janeth Ernest, said the man was sitting in the Bulk customer section and while he was there he pretended as if he was filling out bank forms, then he removed the jacket and put it on the briefcase. Read More...
