Barely few hours to governorship election in Anambra State, Nigeria, the
police have averted what could have been a major disaster in Onitsha, the
commercial city of the State.
It was gathered that around 12.30 pm, two high
caliber improvised explosive devices (IED’s) were discovered near Onitsha North
Police Station.
A distress call was made to men of the Nigerian Police Anti-bomb squad
who swiftly responded. The IEDs were successfully demobilized and removed by
men of the Anti-Bomb squad under the Supervision of Deputy Inspector General of
Police, Joshak Habila.
DIG Habila could not be reached as of the time this report was filed. The
incident heightened tension in Anambra State, ahead of the election.
Apparently, the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been
championing a total boycott of the election.
