The Kaduna State Police Command has recovered unexploded military-grade ordnance and assorted ammunition from a scrap depot in the Kudandan area of Kaduna South Local Government Area. The discovery followed an intelligence report about suspicious materials at a scavengers’ company on the outskirts of the city.
Police spokesperson Mansir Hassan said the items were concealed among waste transported from Borno State. A team from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit, led by its commander, confirmed the presence of explosive devices and safely evacuated them to a secure location for controlled demolition.

Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Rabiu, has ordered the immediate sealing of the premises for a full security sweep. He warned scavengers against receiving items from crisis zones and directed area commanders to arrest violators, urging residents to provide timely intelligence to help prevent security threats.
