There was a bomb scare yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
A rumour circulated around 7:30pm that an explosive was planted in Sabo.
Residents scampered for safety. People phoned and sent messages to their loved ones, telling them to avoid Sabo/Mokola Roundabout.
It was gathered that a beggar sighted an explosive device around Mokola Roundabout and raised the alarm.
Police spokesperson Bisi Ilobanafor described the alarm as false.
She said after a search by men of the anti-bomb unit, a brief case was found containing an old typewriter.
Ilobanafor thanked the public for alerting the police, urging them to continue to report suspicious items or movement.
