Explosive devices thrown out of a moving vehicle

The Canisters

Seven canisters believed to be explosives were yesterday hauled out of a moving vehicle in Bida, Niger State.  Our correspondent gathered yesterday in Bida that the objects were dumped at the premises of the Nigerian Agricultural Co-operative and Rural Development Bank, (NACRDB) in Bida area. It was also gathered that following the discovery, security operatives have sealed off the area from public use pending the outcome of investigations into the matter.

Witnesses said the objects may have been planned to detonate at the NACRDB building and also possibly thrown to explode close to the residence of a prominent politician, Alhaji Musa Baba,  a former commissioner in the state.
