Imagine stumbling upon what looks like a missile in your local bush—chilling, right? That’s exactly what happened in Niger State’s Zugurma community, but police swooped in fast to neutralize the threat.
In Mashegu LGA, residents spotted a suspected unexploded military ordnance (UXO) in a forest, prompting swift action from Ibbi Division cops who cordoned off the area Monday.
CP Adamu Elleman deployed the EOD-CBRN unit under CSP Mohammed Mamun, who safely disarmed and recovered the device Tuesday with local help. Spokesman SP Wasiu Abiodun confirmed it’s a military UXO, source unknown, with investigations ongoing.
The CP urged calm, assuring full security measures. Updates to follow as police dig deeper.
