However, a statement issued by Gyang Bere,  the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, said the alarm was false and triggered by a group of individuals who misinterpreted a heap of polythene bags as a potential threat.

He explained that security agencies, including the anti-bomb squad from the Plateau State Police Command, responded swiftly, conducting a thorough cordon and search operation at the scene.

”After an exhaustive inspection, no evidence of any explosive device was found.”

He therefore urged all Plateau citizens to remain vigilant and to act as responsible ambassadors of the state, upholding its reputation and rich heritage.
