The Bauchi State Police Command yesterday

devices (IEDs) buried inside a building in
Azare, Katagum Local Government Area of
the state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer,
Mohammed Haruna, confirmed the incident
to journalists in his office in Bauchi, saying
the discovery was made on Wednesday
afternoon.
Haruna, a Deputy Superintendent of Police,
said the Explosive Ordinance Unit of the
command successfully recovered and
rendered safe an IED gas cylinder buried in a
building site located at VIO Quarters in

He added that other items recovered from the

months ago, before they were driven away.
The police spokesman commended the level
of security awareness of the people of the
state and urged them to do more to promote
