A senior secondary school form one (SS1) student of Federal
Government Girls College (FGGC), Jalingo, was on Monday apprehended for
being in possession of two grenades.
According to ThisDay,
the student, simply identified as Blessing, was apprehended by the
school’s security guards who were conducting checks on the students
luggage following their resumption for the second term.
In an attempt to smuggle the bombs into the school, Blessing, who joined the school last September,
concealed the bombs inside gari and it took the vigilance of the security men to detect them.
Upon the discovery, she was quickly arrested alongside her father
who is said to be a retired Police Inspector from Numan in Adamawa state
while the bomb disposal unit at the police headquarters was quickly
called in to defuse the bombs.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),
ASP Joseph Kwaji, said both the girl and her father are under detention
while investigation is being conducted into the matter.
