In a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bashir Usman, says the loud blast occurred in the early hours of December 30, 2025, but records no loss of life. “Security agencies have brought the situation under control,” Usman says.
He explains that a joint security team comprising the police, military and vigilante personnel immediately cordons off the area, while experts from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal–Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) unit conduct a detailed assessment.
