Heatwave Triggers Explosion at Giwa Barracks Armoury — Military Debunks Attack Rumours

The Nigerian military has dispelled rumours of a terrorist attack on Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, clarifying that an explosion at the base’s armoury was the result of extreme heat and not hostile action.

PRNigeria gathers that the incident, which occurred within a section of the armoury, was caused by a heat-induced reaction that triggered a fire and explosion. The sources emphasized that the situation was swiftly contained and posed no ongoing threat.

“What occurred was an isolated incident triggered by excessive heat, which caused an explosion within the armoury,” a senior officer explained.

Authorities urged the public to disregard panic-inducing messages circulating on social media, warning against the spread of misinformation that could incite fear among residents.

“All military facilities in Maiduguri remain secure and operational. Our troops are fully alert and in control of the situation. There is no cause for alarm,” the sources reassured.

The Command also confirmed that emergency protocols were immediately activated, and investigations are underway to assess the extent of damage and enhance preventive measures against future occurrences.
