Over 13 types of improvised explosive Devices [IEDs], four AK 47 Guns and 30 rounds of ammunition were recovered in a Golf Car impounded by soldiers last Wednesday at a check point in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

State Police Public Relations Officer, Hassan Mohammed, who disclosed this to journalists, yesterday, said that the explosives were packaged in Turkey oil and milk tins respectively when the anti-bomb squads examined the confiscated vehicle.

He added that investigation was ongoing to fish out the fleeing culprits who tried to import the dangerous materials to the State capital so as to unleash terror on the people.

It would be recalled that last Wednesday, a Golf car loaded with locally made bombs with registration number AA158 was impounded by soldiers at a military check-point in Alkaleri Local Government of the State.

The incident was said to have occurred when occupants of the car opened the door and fled into bush as the security operatives were inspecting the boot.

Eye witnesses revealed that the soldiers wanted to open fire at the fleeing miscreants.
