“The truth is that we have identified the company involved with the storage of explosive devices in that particular building.
“We have an individual of interest who the security agencies should be inviting for questioning.
“I repeat my position that anyone who has contributed to putting this tragedy upon us, we will definitely bring them to book,” Makinde said.
“It is not anything that has to do with banditry or insurgency. It is simply illegal miners who decided to store explosives in residential area.
“We are trying to uncover the identities of the people. We’ve done a few fact-finding on the company involved, and yes, there are indeed some foreign names on the CAC documents of the company involved, but these are still early days,” he said.
