The nation was saved another tragedy on Saturday in Port Harcourt as an explosive was uncovered in the Rivers State capital. It took the timely arrival of a bomb disposal squad to foil the bid to waste innocent lives.

The killer object was said to have been found in the densely populated Diobu area of the capital city by residents.
It was gathered that an unusual sound from a can in a spot in Ojina Street about 5pm around Iloabuchi by Abel Jumbo axis of Diobu attracted the residents.

Sensing trouble, the residents alerted the police to the strange object.
A bomb disposal unit later arrived the scene and took the object away.

The fear of the residents was confirmed when the object was found to have an electronic gadget attached to it.
Efforts to get police reaction before press time drew blank.
However, a dependable source confirmed that the police were “examining what looked like an explosive.”

Na wah o

remember recently the fire that happened in ust caused by a bomb. now this one!

The person who planted the bomb was not seen, ,but suspicions are on maybe boko harm representatives,

I'm not suspecting the dangerous boko haram yet, I suspect MEND. Those criminals are killers.

Fallout of Boko Haram bombings is this mass hysteria. Everywhere we're hearing of 'plots' being 'exposed' by police in the South. Innocent hausa suya sellers and shoemakers are being arrested and paraded as 'suspected Boko Haram'.

I'm 90% sure this has nothing to do with Boko Haram. Probably wasn't even a bomb sef.

I have been saying it and will continue to repeat it that this evil will eventually spread. We PH residents and indeed other southerners need to be careful. We are simply too loose. Does anybody ever inspect those lorries carrying yam, tomatoes, cow, etc as they enter the city. These are all viable sources of importing bombs. The truth is dat no one is safe from these blood suckers. It is indeed a war situation. God help us.

SS feeling wen naija break up, there wil b peace can now see dat nowhre is safe as far as dis country is concern. And who tod u we wl not breakup with our old disease contacted frm say ' former nigeria'? Let's keep praying, so that GOD can help us. GOD bless nigeria!

It is not just stopping at nigeria breaking up,it might escalate to all round destruction of nigeria if a very drastic action is not taken.And that drastic action is accountability.

This is not the time gej should be taking over 70 otimkpus to the meeting of toothless african bulldogs,wasting tax payers hard earned resources.It is a time of sober reflection and mental enlightenment.It is a time to fight and time time sift the chaffs from the harvest.

after recent episodes, i can boldly tell you that this is good news. A death averted news is now considered good news. IMHO

The topic is wrong. Detonate means 'to explode'
@op, i believe that this is just sheer luck. Who knows hw many more are in different parts of the state? WE NEED EFFECTIVE INTELLIGENCE GATHERING!

Boko haram in PH?

@PINK BABE,hit the sent a topic icon and start your thread.Your thread can only make it to the front page @ the discretion of the Moderator(s).Gudluck!

na wa o. God help us

why can't this country spend half of the amount budgeted for the President's food in buying thousands of bomb sniffer dogs from the US?  Isn't that a faster more effective way of detecting explosives than depending on kids to chance upon them while out in their play grounds?

Wouldn't we be a step closer in combating this heinous terrorist attacks if each officer held a bomb sniffer dog at every major Police check point?

My Brother you need to see the way Nigeria police were searching those guys that brings yam to slaughther (PHC)market,i saw them on Trans Amadi Road weeks back and the police are doing a great Job on that part but mind you if they northerners want to bring in Bombs do you think they are gong to use those yam/tomatoes/Cow carriers?NO NA.
I think they have other means to bring in these bombs
