The Nigerian Army says it will conduct the disposal of recovered unexploded ordnances from the site of the 2002 Ikeja cantonment bomb blast at the Nigerian Army Range in Owode, Ajilete, Ogun State tomorrow.

Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General ONYEMA NWACHUKWU stated that the exercise which will take place from 10 am to 4 pm., will produce a loud bang that would be heard from far and near. 

He appealed to the farmers and farm owners within and around the perimeters of the Nigerian Army Shooting Range Ajilete, Owode Ogun State, to please stay clear during the period of the exercise.

He also urged members of the general public, particularly residents of Owode, Ajilete and the environs not to panic, but to go about their normal and legitimate businesses, as the sound of the explosion would not raise any security concerns.

The Nigerian Army assured the general public that necessary cautionary measures have been placed to guarantee the safety of life and property throughout the duration of the exercise.
