The Borno State Police Command reported the successful recovery of eight unexploded ordnance (UXOs) in Maiduguri on November 22, 2024.
The operation took place in Dala and Gwange areas after residents reported suspicious objects. In Dala-Abuja Talakawa, six projectiles and one unexploded mortar bomb were recovered. Later in Gwange, an unexploded hand grenade was found along the riverbank. The police suspect that the ordnance were displaced by recent floods.
The police have since trained local residents on safety measures related to UXOs and urged them to report any suspicious items to the authorities.
