The Police in Abuja yesterday arrested two men with a gas cylinder in an unregistered vehicle, sparking rumours that a car bomb was intercepted.
Early in the evening, rumours saying that the police seized a black VW
Gold car wired with explosives in Kuje area of the Federal Capital
Territory spread like wild fire.
Claims were also made that the vehicle had three occupants who tried to
enter the Kuje Prisons and a block of government offices but was
intercepted.
But FCT Police Commissioner Aderenle Shinaba told a source on telephone last night that there was no bomb.
He said what happened was that the police arrested two suspects in
unregistered vehicle with a gas cylinder which turned out to be cooking
gas.
He said the suspects were being detained over use of unregistered vehicle.
