By Stephen Asaba-ase

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State on Tuesday has vehemently debunked reports of an explosion in Jos, the state capital City.

Meanwhile, the reported explosion was tagged to be an Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted at the old Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) site, near Terminus Market in North Local Government Area of Plateau State

However, the alleged report stated that three improvised explosives were discovered at the terminus area of Jos.

Meantime, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Gyang Bere, said the alarm was false and spacked by people who misunderstood a heap of polythene bags as a potential explosions.

He also assured that security experts and the anti-bomb squad from the Plateau Police Command has responded promptly and conducted all-round cordon and search operation at the items and near by surrounding.

“After carrying out rigorous inspection, there was no evidence of explosive device found.”

The governor however urged every body to remain watchful and vigilant, act as responsible ambassadors of the state.

“I assured the public that his administration is determined to ensure an all-round security across Plateau State, he added.
