The Nigerian Army has confirmed it has recovered 93 unexploded ordnances (bombs) at the Ikeja Military Cantonment, Lagos.
This was disclosed by Colonel Abdulrazaq Kazeem, the Director at the Directorate of Explosives Search and Disposal, Nigeria Army Engineers/Coordinator of the ‘Exercise Clean Sweep’, during his maiden briefing on the update of the exercise on Thursday.
The artilleries were discovered in the Army’s ongoing operation dubbed ‘Exercise Clean Sweep.’
The exercise which was flagged off on Tuesday, October 10, was to clear the area following the 2002 bomb blast that rocked the cantonment.
The recovered bombs, according to the Army, were of various calibres and descriptions.
Kazeem said: “We have so far recovered 93 ordnances of different calibres.
“So at 93, we are not yet up to the explosives, we measure it in kilograms, so once we get to that particular explosive limit, then we’ll move to the range”.
