There was palpable tension and pandemonium on Thursday at Rigasa, the rail terminal town, in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State when residents discovered a device suspected to be Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

Recall that the final terminal for the Abuja-Kaduna train services is located in the Rigasa area of Kaduna state.

The discovery of the IED came few days after the terror attack on an Abuja-Kaduna bound train on Monday night where no fewer than eight passengers were killed, while 26 got injured and an unspecified number of passengers still missing.

A source that pleaded not to be named stated that the bomb was discovered hidden in a bucket along the Makarfi Road in the community.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, while confirming the incident, said operatives attached to the police command had successfully defused the bomb.

Jalige disclosed that operatives of the command’s Anti-bomb Squad were deployed to the scene following the information and they discharged their duties creditably.

The police spokesman enjoined residents to continue report any credible suspicious movement within their vicinity to the nearest police station.

“Yes, there was an IED planted around Makarfi Road, Rigasa, this morning. 

“We received a distress call and our officers from the EOD were deployed to the scene.

“Rhey have cleared the area of any fears and business has been restored to normalcy. 

“We enjoin members of the public to continue to give us credible information that can assist maintain peace in and around them,” he said.

“On getting to the scene, they identified the device as Improvised Explosive Device and they successfully defused the device without causing harm to anyone.”
