Breaking News! Police Foils Bomb Explosion In Lagos 

… As NPF Alerts Nigerians To Stay Vigilant, Reports Suspicious Objects 

By Joseph Sunday 

The Nigeria Police Force has foiled a bomb explosion in Lagos on Wednesday night as the Police called on Nigerians to be vigilant and report suspicious objects found around them. 

In a press release sent to Treasure Newspaper few minutes ago, the Force Public Relations Officer at the Police Headquarters in Abuja, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has informed Nigerians on an incident involving the discovery and successful detonation of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Unit of the Nigeria Police Force, along Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Ikeja in Lagos.

According to ACP Adejobi, he said, “the Nigeria Police Force is alerting all citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or objects to the nearest police station. 

Adding, he said, “the members of the public are urged to stay alert and be aware of their surroundings, reporting any unusual or suspicious behaviour. Where anyone encounters an unfamiliar or suspicious object, please do not touch or move it. Rather, keep a safe distance and immediately inform the Police.

The NPF however assured Nigerians of its readiness to protect the lives and properties of citizens, and also ensure it worked tirelessly to investigate the source of the bearers of the IED planted in Lagos, dismantle their plans and apprehend those involved.

The Police also used the avenue to restate its commitment towards unraveling the intentions of the criminally minded individuals, who acted like terrorists by planting the IEDs at that strategic location, probably to destroy houses, facilities and innocent citizens who may transverse along the route where the items were recovered.
