Boko Haram Targets Police Children in Kaduna, Bomb Succesfully Detonated

A police anti-bomb unit in Kaduna State this evening in a police barracks successfully detonated a bomb which seemed to have been targeted at children of police officers in the area.

The children at the Kabala Doki Police Barracks, which is also known as Mounted Troop, were already playing with the explosive before it became clear what it was.  

The police image maker in Kaduna, Aminu Lawan, confirmed to SaharaReporters that the situation was brought to the attention of security forces and the anti-bomb unit rushed into action.

He said the experts removed the explosive, which is “scientific” in nature, and was enclosed in a polythene bag.

An anonymous person at the scene said, “The children were unconsciously playing with the bomb and nothing happened to them”, before it was discovered that the objective was an explosive with a timer on it.

A top State Security Service source also disclosed to SaharaReporters that security personnel also found another bomb in the Barnawa area of the city today.
