According to Vanguard, Abdullahi said that the instruments were discovered by men of the Disaster Management Unit of the command at the scene of Sunday, January 8's bomb blast in Kalleri area of the state capital.
Eight people were confirmed dead in the several explosions that hit Kalleri, Borno state on Sunday, when a Boko Haram bomber attacked a Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) check point around Muna garage while another set of bombers attacked Kalleri ward.
Abdullahi said: “The digital timer countdown displayed served the purpose of allowing the planter of bomb or bomber to know the time to explode his Improvised Explosive Device.
“Since we now know what they are using; the security agencies would trace the roots of where these gadgets are coming from.
"To this end, we appeal to people to be vigilant and proactive in their respective environment.
“They should also assist the security agencies with relevant information to nip Boko Haram activities and other crimes in the bud.”

You would recall that the National Bureau of Statistics had in its report stated that the number of Nigerians that became unemployed rose under  the current administration from 8,036million in 2015 Fourth quarter to 15.998 million in third quarter of 2017. It will be c...
