<p>The Governor of Plateau State, <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/governor-caleb-mutfwang" rel="noopener"><strong>Governor Caleb Mutfwang</strong></a>, has assured residents of the state’s <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/?s=maximum+safety" rel="noopener"><strong>maximum safety</strong></a>, following the report of an explosion.</p>
<p>Recall that the reports of an <strong>explosion</strong> of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), at the old JUTH by the Terminus Market, had surfaced earlier today by some national dailies.</p>
<p>However, in a statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, Governor Mutfwang dismissed such reports, describing them as false.</p>
<p>He noted that the false alarm which sent fear and panic among citizens in the area, had been triggered by a group of individuals who misinterpreted a heap of polythene bags as a potential threat.</p>
<p>Mutfwang recalled that security agencies, including the anti-bomb squad from the Police Command in Plateau responded swiftly, conducted a search operation at the scene and cordoned it.</p>
<p>“<em>After an exhaustive inspection, no evidence of any explosive device was found,”</em> he stated.</p>
<p>The governor urged Plateau citizens to remain vigilant and act as responsible ambassadors of the state, upholding its reputation and rich heritage.</p>
<p>He reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring an enduring security across the state, and to work tirelessly to restore peace and stability in the area.</p>
<p>He also appealed to the people to channel their efforts in supporting the government’s mission for sustainable peace and prosperity.</p>
