It was said that if not for the alarm raised by passers-by, the hotel management would not have reported it to the police.
Most residents of the area agreed that the object was a bomb deliberately planted to wreak havoc in the area.
They said it was not a coincidence that the object was found in-between two churches.
One of the eyewitnesses said: “You know there are two big churches here.
The bomb was found at the back of St. Leo’s Catholic Church and opposite the Assembly of God Church. “Had it been detonated when the churches are holding their services, you can imagine the extent of damage and panic it would have caused. The explosion itself would have caused serious stampede.”
But the Commissioner of Police, Anti-Bomb Unit, Mr. Adebanjo Folusho, said the object was not a bomb, even as he described the incident as a hoax.
