10 year old Boy Helps Police Avert Explosion in Kano
Kano State police authorities reportedly
foiled what could have been a deadly explosion, thanks to some
information a 10-year-old boy revealed to them.
They discovered 13 high-calibre Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at Sauna-Fafunga in the Dakata area of Kano, Vanguard reports.
Aderenle Shinaba, the Commissioner of Police, is said to have shown the devices to reporters in Kano yesterday.
Shinaba
revealed that the explosives were found around 1.30p.m. in a
run-down car parked near a Friday Mosque. According to reports, a
10-year-old boy alerted police when he noticed some unusual objects in
the vehicle.
“When we got the
information, we quickly moved in to the place and in the course of
screening the vehicle, our anti-bomb squad discovered the explosives.
We are simply lucky;
what we have here now has the capacity of destroying a whole village
and the Abuja incident would have been a child’s play.
The explosives were
primed to explode when the Juma’at prayer is going on and they can
destroy a whole neighbourhood because they are of high calibre,” said
Shinaba.
