A massive Improvised Explosive Device (IED) has been detonated at the Dalori Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp, Bama Road, Maiduguri.
The bomb squad of the Nigeria Police which was summoned by the Commissioner of Police Abdu Umar on receipt of the threat Intel rushed to the scene in the early hours of the day to survey the area and ultimately removed the IED planted to kill innocent people.
“The detonation from the general area has saved many lives because the IED which would have killed scores at Dalori IDP camp 1 Maiduguri was taken away”, said the Commissioner.
“We are happy they did the needful by ensuring that the synergy we have with them is working. If not for God who knows how many lives would have been destroyed today because the IED was a massive one powered by a solar means.
“Our business was to remove the threats and we have done so. The people should not relax at all they must remain vigilante at all times.
The CP directed them to continue to maintain vigilance in their environment because the criminal elements would like to infiltrate their ranks and cause more trouble at this sensitive period of the year.
