Police to Deploy Bomb Detection Dogs To Airport And 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.
