The police command in Akwa Ibom said it
had detonated two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) found in the male
hostel of University of Uyo. Confirming the incident in Uyo on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Etim Dickson, told newsmen that the explosives were home-made.
Dickson, who said that the IEDs were
likely produced by science students of the university, said
investigations had commenced on the matter.
He assured the students on campus and
parents not to entertain any fear about possible breakdown of law and
order in the university community.
He said “the incident has been properly
taken care of, we urge students and employees of the institution to go
about their normal businesses.”
The IEDs were discovered by the campus security squad known as Operatives of Peace on Campus Initiative (PCI).
The Anti-Bomb Squad of the Nigeria
Police had on arrival at the students’ hostel detonated the two improved
explosive devices and conducted a search round the other hostel rooms.

Wow! Thank God it didn't explode before it was evacuated.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Dear Linda, the word detonate is not the right one to use here, intact its the opposite. To detonate is to make the explosive go boom! The word you need to us is "Difuse" meaning to disarm. Good night Linda
Bonario you are so daft the story said detonate which means explode can't you read?
My mind reach ground small say no be those idiot bk thing...na to followup be the matter...
Ok good job!
I think whoever wrote this meant 'defused' not 'detonated'....detonate is to cause an explosion, defuse is to deactivate an explosive ...
Thank God for dat
Culd it be dat thr is an arm of a terror group in d university? Well, we thank God
Dahs good am happy the security unrest has placed both our military and police men on their toe.
Defuse or detonate which1? Olubukola daniels aka blackmamba...
But i dont get it, if one detonates a bomb, it means it was blown up, i would think the bomb was disabled or defuse or something like that. i think this error should be corrected as much as possible by bloggers and journalists alike
ThankGod for the early intervention 'God is good' #onelovefromSnow#
Linda u always make tis mistake,detonate is not d right word ever.is difuse..next time u will still say detonate
tnk God for prompt intervention. *preetyswt*
Linda I guess the word you meant to use was "DEFUSE" & not "DETONATE". "Denonate" means to trigger a bomb into explosion while "DEFUSE" means to disarm a bomb.
Na wa oh! I bet this is not Boko Haram

BH has been trying to bomb the school and Nigerian Civil Defence has been checking them each time they come for friday prayers.Father protect us as we resume school
Lol. @Bishop True talk
Linda, the word "detonate" is becoming something like a stigma in your english. I have said it times without number. To detonate is to blow up while defusing is to deactivate or render it useless! I stand to be corrected if i am wrong, but with my 31 yrs of english i think i am right!

Thank God bt y will students implant bomb in the first place?na wa 4 wire road
English is doing u strong tin dis days. So if it was detonated, wats d casualty figure? Or u mean diffuse? Ok.
May God be with us
All is well
BORN TO SHINE!!!
DETONATE OR DEFUSE?
Sey you and the police spokesman know that there is a difference between detonatating a bomb & defusing a bomb? To detonate means they've exploded the bomb oh!......well maybe at a safe distance, in the event that they cannot defuse it.......maybe. I however think the word you guys are looking for is defuse.
" Police detonate two explosive devices at University of Uyo"
This means that the police set the bomb off (ie to explode).
I guess you should have used diffuse or disarm not detonate
