How on earth could water board install such suspicious thing there without making public announcement or informing the police?
Shows the staff of the board are negligent and probably untrained.

U tried to make sense but ended up talking nonsense. Is it a law that everything a public works installs must be made public knowledge?
U can see how small it is so it'll be very easy for someone to steal.
You've ended up exposing your own negligence and lack of training

Agbaletu:

Hahaha...I just drove past the spot now.

How is the area now?

Ok tnx, i do visit the mall daily

I ALMOST THOUGHT I READ UNDERGROUD MAMMY WATER ...............THAT'S WHY I OPENED THE POST

Had a incidence once when my colleague and I, while taking measurements for tide flow and sediment transport studies along the Lagos Lagoon, placed one of such meters on a jetty in Apapa. We asked permission from the security guards on duty. Next day we returned to retrieve our equipment we observed lot of people around the device...DSS...Navy...Army...Bomb squad from the police with sniffer dogs e.t.c.

As we approached in our boat, we noticed they all beckoned on us to draw closer..all in unison... they didn't even give us time to moor properly....
With our first step on land, many cocked there guns and asked us to surrender.... I almost shit my pants..cos i have read stories of trigger happy security men... My white colleague...didn't even understand what was going on.. me as the black man.. na me they ask to surrender.. My colleague approached the device..unlocked the device box and brought our a digital meter to check if it acquired data over night... Omo come see shouting.. stop!Stop! Stop!!! all this y, the guns still they point black man...

It took the intervention of the educated and enlightened Commissioner of Police for Ports at the time, to rescue us. Na so i for die for mistaken identity both of person and device......

Just goes to show the level of insecurity in our country. The security response to seeing such a device was prompt. I hail them.. But the gun pointing at me wasn't funny o. See Engineer like me for die with false charges of terrorism.. I thank God .. They cordoned off the area since the change of shift of Jetty security men.... Since then, no more bomb-like looking device research for me. Let someone else do the Job. Its 4 years now and my BP is still high...lol

I can understand the panick when that one was found in Abuja... Scary part is that you have to connect it to battery (Car Batteries) for power.. really looks suspicious...like a bomb..

You are most welcome. I just left the mall now.

Guyman02:
The usual suspects

This is what happens when villagers go and stay in places like FCt that's meant for civilized people.

A average city dweller will know what a meter looks like.

Lol....see what this boko haram are causing? Every meter now is a bomb

Laughing out loud

Stwpid ignoramus! Where is Zuma rock? Or Adonbilivit!

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die..

With all those wires and meter, oboy na to tear race o.

Sad what out lifestyle has turned us into. we are now used to a lifestyle of bomb blast in the north such that every piece of technology looks like a bomb just because no where is safe

An underground water meter caused a scare in Abuja as it was mistaken by people a bom.Pictured above is an official of FCT water board displaying the water meter reader machine which was mistaken for a bomb that caused commotion at a bridge near Jabi Lake Mall in Abuja .

Actually I thought you had something between your ears but you displayed your ignorance flamboyantly.
How can't your brain grasp that the security condition of the country is fragile. It takes nothing away from the untrained staff to inform the police or simply make a public announcement about the installation.
So as you wise reach if you see an unattended cooler in a strange environ you will quickly open it and check for Pepsi abi, sorry for you o

Thank God one "Illiterate Nigerian Soldier" didn't spot him while he was working and form "American Sniper"
