“We deployed operatives from the anti-bomb unit who went to the scene, cordoned off the area and recovered the bag. It was taken for analysis and was discovered to be fillants.
“That place is a market place and it could have been dropped by somebody. Lagosians should remain calm, as there is no cause for alarm. The security of lives and property is important to the Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko. He is leaving no stone unturned to achieve it”.
The fillants are substances used in fixing ships when there is leakage.
When the bag was spotted in the morning, some of the residents and traders abandoned their homes and wares and fled to the area.
Some were even calling their friends and relatives on the Island to inform them of the suspected bomb and the need to stay away.
