There was a bomb scare yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
A rumour circulated around 7:30pm that an explosive was planted in Sabo.
Residents scampered for safety. People phoned and sent messages to their loved ones, telling them to avoid Sabo/Mokola Roundabout.
It was gathered that a beggar sighted an explosive device around Mokola Roundabout and raised the alarm.
Police spokesperson Bisi Ilobanafor described the alarm as false.
She said after a search by men of the anti-bomb unit, a brief case was found containing an old typewriter.
Ilobanafor thanked the public for alerting the police, urging them to continue to report suspicious items or movement. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
