The suspects, whose identities had been kept secret for security reasons, were apprehended while driving to the airport at about 8.30am Thursday.

The four suspects including the driver of their vehicle with registration number KJA 359 AP, were reportedly heading towards the airport when they were stopped in their tracks by EOD operatives on routine duties.

While confirming the arrest of the suspects along with the explosives, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said when the vehicle conveying the suspects was stopped,  upon a thorough search by the operatives, some items believed to be dangerous fireworks contained in two cartons were discovered in the vehicle.
