The campaign brought together scrap and waste dealers from across the state to educate them on the dangers of mishandling explosive materials often mistaken for scrap metal. It also emphasized the importance of adhering to safety protocols in their day-to-day operations.

Delivering a lecture at the event, the Commander of EOD Base 33, Lokoja, CSP Danladi Ameh, sensitized participants on how to identify, manage, and safely report suspected explosive ordnance.

He warned that failure to recognize and properly handle such materials could lead to devastating loss of lives and property,urging scrap dealers to immediately notify security agencies upon discovering any suspicious metallic object.

The awareness campaign also featured practical demonstrations on identifying explosive devices, safety measures, and emergency response procedures. The initiative underscored the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and the public in maintaining a secure environment.
