Three days after terrorists killed over 40 people in Kasuwar Daji and burnt a Mobile Police checkpoint, locals have discovered another unexploded explosive device suspected to be a missile in the Ganaru area of Magama Local Government Area, Niger State.
The device is believed to be a Tomahawk missile warhead, reportedly of United States origin, raising fresh concerns about safety in the community.
Sources told newsmen that residents are particularly bothered as unexploded military ordnance could be mistaken for scrap metal and handled without awareness of the risks involved.

“Anyone considering repurposing the metal should be aware that it contains a powerful 600-pound high-explosive warhead.”
The discovery follows the Kasuwar Daji market massacre, where over 40 people were killed by gunmen.
The attackers also burnt a Mobile Police checkpoint and ransacked several homes in the community.
According to reports, the assault on the Mobile Police checkpoint was aimed at preventing security forces from responding quickly to the attacks, leaving residents vulnerable.
