An unexploded bomb left over from the Nigerian civil war was unearthed today in Enugu state.

The left over device, which appears to be a mortar canister, was found by construction workers at a building site in the Ogui area of Enugu.

The workers subsequently called the local police force and the area around the unexploded ordinance was cornered off.

Officers of the anti-bomb squad of Enugu state police command then successfully disarmed and removed the bomb.

Spokesman for the command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu confirmed that the bomb was disarmed and that it definitely originated from during the civil war era as the building site is located on a former battlefield.
“The builders, on sighting the object, promptly alerted police operatives who quickly arrived at the scene for the evacuation of the unexploded ordinance,” Amaraizu said.


He added that the police anti-bomb unit certified the area safe before the laborers resumed their work.

“The Enugu State Police Command, through its Public Relations Department, has been sensitising members of the public on the need not to tamper with UXO when found during farming, on the road and building constructions but to promptly alert operatives or the nearest police station so that operatives can evacuate the object with their equipment.”


Unexploded ordnance (bombs) left over from wars kill and maim thousands of people around the world every year.

Unexploded bombs includes mines, shells, mortar rounds, and other explosive devices used by military forces and armed groups.

If you come across something that could be an unexploded bomb, including in fields and inside buildings, do NOT touch or otherwise tamper with it.  Alert the local police force or relevant authorities immediately and do NOT put yourself in harms way.
