The woman gave the device to her brother, Dr Rashid Tanko Computer, who called in the police, Monday afternoon.

The police conducted a counter-terrorism patrol in the city but are yet to confirm if the device is explosive.

Northern Regional Crime Officer Sup. Otuo Acheampong who led the counter-terrorism team to the scene said initial assessment showed “it may be cells in a power bank”

“It is too early and premature to establish the kind of substance it is,” he told JoyNews.
