The spokesperson for the state police, Gideon Jibrin confirmed the discovery saying that the device had been found in the mosque during Juma’at prayers.

“On December 5 at about 1330hrs, the attention of State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) operatives of the command and civilian JTF men on duty at the Kano Motor Park, Maiduguri, was drawn to a bunch of suspected Improvised Explosive Devices concealed in a receptacle and planted near the exit gate of the Juma'at mosque at the motor park,” Jibrin said.

“Swiftly reacting to the bomb scare, the bomb disposal unit was promptly drafted to the scene where they found the IEDs ostensibly targeted at unsuspecting worshipers who were already in prayers,” he added.

Jibrin stated that members of the bomb disposal unit were able to neutralize the device thus preventing an explosion.

He also urged members of the public to be vigilant and alert so as to inform the police of any suspicious activities around them.
