Another Unexploded 600-Pound US Tomahawk Warhead Found in  Niger 

Residents of Ganaru community in Magama Local Government Area of Niger State were thrown into fear and confusion following the discovery of another unexploded missile believed to be a 600-pound US Tomahawk warhead. The shocking find has raised serious concerns about public safety and the growing militarisation of conflict zones in the region.
According to local sources, the warhead was discovered by villagers during routine farming activities. On sighting the strange object, residents immediately alerted community leaders, who then contacted security agencies to avert possible disaster. The area has since been cordoned off to prevent civilians from going close to the explosive device.
This latest discovery comes barely days after similar unexploded military-grade ordnance was reportedly found in parts of Niger State, heightening fears that powerful weapons may be finding their way into civilian environments. Security experts warn that a 600-pound warhead, if detonated accidentally, could cause massive destruction, loss of lives, and displacement of entire communities.
Residents of Ganaru expressed shock and anxiety, calling on the federal government and security agencies to act swiftly. “We are farmers, not soldiers. Our children and families are at risk,” a community member said, urging authorities to conduct a thorough sweep of the area to ensure no other explosives are hidden nearby.
Meanwhile, questions are being raised about how such a sophisticated weapon ended up in a rural community. Analysts suggest it may be linked to military operations against armed groups or illegal arms trafficking, though no official confirmation has been given. Calls are growing for a transparent investigation to determine the source of the missile and those responsible.
As of the time of filing this report, security agencies are yet to release an official statement. Residents have been advised to remain calm, avoid the area, and report any suspicious objects immediately.
The incident has once again underscored the urgent need for stronger security surveillance, proper handling of military operations, and the protection of civilians in conflict-prone regions of Nigeria.
