National Youth Service Corps members undergoing orientation at the Zang Commercial Secondary School in Bukuru, Jos South Local Government Area scampered to safety on Tuesday when a middle-aged man allegedly invaded the camp with lethal substance suspected to be an explosive.
The man, who wore NYSC uniform was arrested after an eagle-eyed security officer spotted him. The explosive he concealed in polythene bag was seized from him.
For many hours, activities at the camp came to a temporary halt as corps members later gathered to discuss the development.
The suspect was immediately handed over to men of the special task force, who took him to their headquarters.
But the STF Media Officer, Captain Charles Ekeocha, denied the story.He described the suspect as a mad man, carrying empty cans in a black polythene bag.
The black polythene, he said, raised suspicion of the security operatives in the camp, who overpowered him.
He added that immediately the force was contacted, its men moved in quickly to rescue the man.
