An abandoned golf car loaded with gas cylinders and Jery cans caused a scare around the vicinity of the Kubwa central mosque in phase 2 site 2 area of the satellite town, Daily Trust reports.

According to witnesses, many residents and passersby started running thinking that the vehicle is a car bomb.

The area was eventually cordoned by the police anti bomb squad who were called in by the Imam of the mosques to investigate the mysterious vehicle.

The spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, DSP Altine Daniel said no explosive device was found in the area.

She said the vehicle has been towed by the police of the Kubwa Division and that the owner of the vehicle might be a cylinder seller and decided to leave the vehicle there after it might have developed a fault.

The FCT police spokeswoman DSP Altine Daniel added that a directive from the Commissioner of Police for the FCT, Joseph Mbu ordered all abandoned vehicle to be scanned.
