A team of security officers said they arrested two suspected bombers in Rivers State’s Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area.
The suspects were caught with four dynamites and other explosive-making materials.
The police said this arrest stopped a planned attack.
The suspects also had four switches and detonating pads when they were caught.
Also, eight men believed to be herdsmen were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and committing other crimes along the Omoku-Ahoada section of the East Road.
Six of their victims were rescued.
The security team found them in their hideout in the Ahoada East Local Government Area.
The state Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, shared these details at a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Tuesday.
Adepoju also confirmed that some vandals died while trying to blow up a pipeline in Aluu, Ikwerre Local Government Area.
He said, “Over the past week, security agencies in Rivers State have prevented several crimes. One of these was an attempt to vandalise a pipeline, which led to the death of the vandals when they tried to detonate it. The quick response of security operatives on March 16, 2025, stopped the attack
