Alarm was raised after an abandoned item thought to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was spotted under Jabi Bridge, near Shoprite mall, Abuja on Thursday, November 9th.
Operatives of the Police Anti-Bomb Squad arrived the scene and redirected drivers to alternative routes after blocking the access road to the bridge.
