Drunk Man Causes Bomb Scare In Market By Throwing A Package And Screaming "Boko Haram"

It was a mild drama as residents and market traders at the popular Ojuelegba area of Lagos were thrown into confusion lastweek when a middle-aged man allegedly threw a package inside the main market and screaming 'Boko Haram'.

According to witnesses: The man who was later identified as Okosun Godson was said to have intentionally dressed himself in a grotesque looking nature in turban and robes to scare off people as his continuous screams of 'I be Boko Haram' coupled with a few theatrics sent residents panicking.

Acting on emergency tips, the Anti-bomb squad section of the Lagos State Police Command and some other law enforcement authorities shortly arrived the scene, only to find out that Okosun was indeed acting under the influence of alcohol.

Police spokesperson, Mutairu Jigi told Ascology News that the man has been arrested and will be charged for Breach of Peace after undergoing medical tests to prove he is actually fit to stand trial.
