August 1 protest: IGP reacts as explosive device is detonated in Lagos

The Nigeria Police Force’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Units found and detonated an improvised explosive device (IED), and Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun congratulated the personnel for their actions.

The incident took place on Wednesday in Lagos State’s Ikeja neighbourhood along Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way.

Egbetokun advised the public to be vigilant and report strange activity in a statement signed by Police PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

“Where one encounters an unfamiliar or suspicious object, please do not touch or move it. Rather, keep a safe distance and immediately inform the Police,” the statement read in part.

It added that the Nigeria Police “is working tirelessly to investigate further the source of the bearers of the IED planted in Lagos, dismantle their plans and apprehend those involved, the cooperation of well-meaning members of the public is vital in these critical times.”
