On Jan 10th 2017 Mozambique's Civil Aviation Authority reported in a press conference in Maputo that they concluded the radome most probably failed as result of a structural failure caused by air flow pressure, contributing factors probably were a defective installation of the radome and inspection of the ribs. A foreign object damage was ruled out. The CAA added, that the radome had been purchased second hand through an American company supplying aircraft parts and components, the radome was installed on the aircraft during major maintenance in South Africa on Jun 27th 2016.

Also If it had been hit by a drone why are bits of the drone not embedded in the plane?

Look at the damage.
Based on the size of an aircraft nose, how big would an object need to be to make those perfectly horizontal scrapes spaced that far apart?
How fast was the object moving? If the plane was doing, let's say, 300km/h and it hit an object that weighed 50kg, guess what? The object might dent the plane but it would bounce off, not slide along it.
If, on the other hand, the plane was stationary and a galley truck/set of stairs drove into it, it would cause a dent and then a score along the side of the plane until the truck stopped (or toppled over).
If you doubt me, go to a supermarket and push a trolley up to the front wing of your car, then push it along the car.
Now for the other side of your car, drive the car at a trolley.
Examine the damage to the car.
