Police To Deploy Bomb Detection Dogs To Airports & Strategic Borders

The Explosives Ordnance Disposal Command of the Nigerian
Police Force has taken delivery of Explosive Detection Canine
(EDC) which will be deployed to all Nigerian airports,
seaports and land borders. EDCs are dogs trained in the
detection of bombs and dangerous explosives. According to
the Police commissioner, the deployment was a part of the
command's strategies to improve on its operations nationwide.

Anytime from now, EDC will be deployed to all the airports,
seaports and our strategic borders because they increase
security and enhance explosives detection. The dogs have
expertise in conducting large scale sweeps of facilities that are
used in airports, seaports and land borders. To this end,
security will be maximised and consolidated in all these
places. We also want to assure members of the public that the
command is fully prepared in 2014 to tackle any Improvise
Explosives Device (IED) anywhere in the country, the
commissioner stated.
