Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have reportedly been discovered in Onitsha, Anambra state ahead of the state's governorship election.
According to a report by TheCable, the explosives were said to have been found on Friday, November 17, 2017, near a police station in Onitsha north local government area.
The IEDs were reported to have been evacuated by the officers in the anti-bomb squad of the police.
“I was at the main market with my brother when we heard bombs were discovered in GRA, near the police station.
“The news caused tension with people rushing to pack their things and leave the market. But we later heard they (the IEDs) had been removed. Let’s hope this election doesn’t turn into something else,” a resident was quoted as saying.
