Hundreds of students and parents were today saved from a terrible
tragedy when about one kilogramme of explosives, 22cm long and cylindrical in
shape was diffused by the Bomb Disposal Unit of the Nigerian Police. The explosives were said to have been planted
near the Tin City Primary School in Jos, the Plateau State capital today.
The students and adults within the vicinity were dispersed and the
device defused with disposal experts saying the fuse on the bomb had been
lit, but went out before it could cause an explosion. Apparently the homemade device was not remote
controlled.
Police investigations have suggested the device was met to blow up the cash
machine that was nearby.
