The Nigerian police force has reportedly discovered a bomb hidden in the PDP secretariat in Ebonyi state.
Ebonyi State Police command revealed that the Improvised Explosive Device, IED was found at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Secretariat along Abakaliki Enugu Expressway.
The discovery of the bomb led to an emergency security meeting summoned by Governor David Umahi at the State Executive Council chambers, Government House, Abakaliki. Addressing newsmen after the Security Council meeting, Governor David Umahi disclosed that the discovery of the IED came to him as a shock and expressed dismay over desperation of the opposition to cease power at all cost in the forthcoming general election come 2019.
Governor Umahi alleged that all available security briefs from the Commissioner of Police and other security chiefs in the state were reflective of the desperation of some persons in the opposition party.
“The police discovered bomb in our PDP secretariat and from all accounts, and information from the security briefs from the commissioner of police, the IED was a little bit old showing that it must have been planted by the desperate opposition people in one of the days I was at the secretariat for a meeting but God did not allow the thing to detonate and God will never allow it to happen to us.Our suspects are the desperate opposition people who have become jobless and aggressive ahead of the 2019 general election because they think they can cease power by all means. I have directed the security chiefs to make full scale investigation into the incident and report to their various headquarters while we as government will report to Mr. President”.
