BOMB SCARE IN DELTA CABINET OFFICE

There was a bomb scare yesterday at the Cabinet Office, Asaba, Delta State, where the office of the Head of Service is situated.
Workers ran out of their offices on discovery of a strange object which looked like a bomb placed at the gate. After removing the strange object, police assured the panic-stricken workers who gathered far away from the scene to return as the complex had been certified  free from risk of bombing, some of them were reluctant to go in while others sneaked back to their homes.
They took the suspected object to the Government House, where the AIG was paying a courtesy visit to the governor.
The object which looked like a bomb with a wrist watch attached to it had wiring connections round it and looked like an explosive device.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, who addressed reporters said it was just a prank to draw unnecessary attention and  perhaps the handiwork of enemies who are trying to bring down the government.
