How residents found another bomb in Kaduna railway community.
There was confusion recently as residents discovered a device suspected to be Improvised Explosive Device at Rigasa in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The Kaduna train station is located at the Rigasa area of the state.
The development came on the heel of the terror attack on an Abuja-Kaduna-bound train where no fewer than eight passengers were killed, while 26 got injured and an unspecified number of passengers are still unaccounted for.
A source who craved anonymity said the bomb was discovered 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 Command had successfully defused the bomb.
