Police discover explosive devices and arms in Kaduna.
The Kaduna State Police Command has discovered unexploded military-grade ordinance bombs and recovered arms and ammunition in a scavenger's company in Kaduna.
The command’s spokesman, Mansir Hassan, confirmed that the police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team, acting on credible intelligence, responded promptly and evacuated the explosive devices to a secure location for safe demolition, noting that the items were found within a load of waste transported from Borno State.
Hassan revealed that the police recovered one locally fabricated revolver pistol fully loaded with six rounds of ammunition, 15 rounds of 7.2mm live ammunition, three live cartridges, and other assorted ammunition.
He said that the Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Rabiu, has directed the premises to be sealed off for a thorough sweep to ensure no further explosive devices are present, and also warned scavenger companies and depots in the state to stop receiving waste from crisis-prone areas, especially the North-East, effective immediately.
CP Rabiu directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to be vigilant and arrest any defaulters violating the order, reaffirming the command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, urging the public to provide useful and timely information to aid in crime prevention and protection of lives and property.
