The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, on Tuesday debunked reports of an explosion in Jos, the state capital.
There were reports that an explosion occurred in Jos on Tuesday.
The alleged explosion was attributed to an Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted at the old Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) site, near Terminus Market in Jos North Local Government Area.
It was also reported that three improvised explosives were discovered at the terminus area of Jos.
But a statement issued by Gyang Bere, Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, said the alarm was false and triggered by a group of individuals who misinterpreted a heap of polythene bags as a potential threat.
He explained that security agencies, including the anti-bomb squad from the Plateau State Police Command, responded swiftly, conducting a thorough cordon and search operation at the scene.
“After an exhaustive inspection, no evidence of any explosive device was found.”
The governor therefore urged all Plateau citizens to remain vigilant and act as responsible ambassadors of the state.
Mutfwang assured the public that his administration is committed to ensuring enduring security across Plateau State.
