Bomb scare in Lagos
There was a bomb scare in Lagos, yesterday, when an attempt by a guest to blow up Reliance Royal Suites at Majekodunmi Street, off Toyin Street in Ikeja, was foiled.
The Anti-Bomb Squad men were said to have arrived the scene at 10.20 a.m, with their devices,
taking the suspected explosive
to their office.
The male guest reportedly planted the combustive substance inside a jacket with its timer, before leaving the hotel room .
Immediately he left, report said, one of the room attenders went in to clean the room only to discover the suspected explosive.
He reportedly raised an alarm, after which the substance was taken outside the hotel premises before the arrival of the Anti-Bomb Squad.
News of the discovery caused panic among residents of the area as most of them reportedly vacated their homes.
When contacted, the Commissioner of Police in -charge of Bomb Squad, Mr Folunsho Adebanjo, said it was a mere bomb scare, describing the substance as a hoax.
He explained that “one Akinwunmi Alagbegun from Reliance Hotel, came to EOD headquarters to report that an object suspected to be bomb was discovered in one of the rooms.
The recovered object comprises of an Improvised life jacket, three pieces of red rubber strands, a computer mouse and four pieces of small rectangular polystyrene wrapped in a newspaper, with some carton pieces stapled to the jacket”
He described the unknown guest as a deranged person who was only out to scare people.
