A female Senior Secondary (SS1) student of the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), Jalingo was on Monday apprehended for being in possession of two grenades.
The school’s security guards, who were conducting checks on the students’ luggage following their resumption for the second term, apprehended the student, simply identified as Blessing.
In an attempt to smuggle the bombs into the school, Blessing, an SS1 student, who joined the school last September, concealed the bombs inside gari and it took the vigilance of the security men to detect them.
Upon the discovery, she was quickly arrested alongside her father, who is said to be a retired Police Inspector from Numan in Adamawa State, while the bomb disposal unit at the police headquarters was quickly called in to detonate the bombs.
The development threw the entire school into pandemonium as staff and students ran for cover when the news of the incident went round the school and it took great effort from the school authorities to restore normalcy to the school.
Confirming the incident, the state's Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Joseph Kwaji, said both the girl and her father were being detained, while investigation is ongoing on the matter. -

Why will a bomb squad need to detonate a grenade? The grenade is harmless unless the pin is pulled from it, at that point no one can stop it from detonating.
