Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Borno State Police Command said it has successfully recovered eight unexploded ordnance (UXOs) in Dala and Gwange areas of Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

The Command in a statement issued on Saturday by the Deputy Public Relations Officer, ASP Grace Michael, said that the recoveries were made on November 22, 2024, after reports of suspicious objects in the affected areas.<\/p>\n

Michael explained that the first incident occurred at approximately 8:43 am in the Dala-Abuja Talakawa area.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said this was after the residents reported a cluster of unidentified objects near an uncompleted building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) Base 13 team responded swiftly, recovering six projectiles and one unexploded mortar bomb, which were safely relocated to a secure site.<\/p>\n

\u201cLater that day, at about 1:00 pm, another report emerged from the Gwange area regarding a suspicious object along the riverbank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EOD-CBRN team was deployed to the scene and recovered an unexploded hand grenade,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It added that preliminary investigations suggested that the ordnance were displaced and washed ashore by recent devastating floods in the state.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the Police Command has since conducted Explosive Ordnance Risk Awareness (EORE) training for residents of both communities, educating them on safety measures.<\/p>\n

The statement further said that the Commissioner of Police, CP Yusufu Mohammed Lawal, reaffirmed the Command\u2019s commitment to ensuring public safety, urging residents to remain calm, vigilant and to promptly report any suspicious objects or activities through the emergency lines: 0806 807 5581 and 0802 347 3293.<\/p>\n
