The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Unit of the Nigeria Police Force discovered and detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on Wednesday along Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Ikeja in Lagos State.
Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun commended the officers involved. In a statement signed by Police PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Egbetokun urged the public to stay vigilant and report any unusual behavior.
“Where one encounters an unfamiliar or suspicious object, please do not touch or move it. Rather, keep a safe distance and immediately inform the Police,” the statement read in part.
The statement also mentioned that the Nigeria Police “is working tirelessly to investigate further the source of the bearers of the IED planted in Lagos, dismantle their plans, and apprehend those involved. The cooperation of well-meaning members of the public is vital in these critical times.”
