Vanguard reports that a brave Hausa man picked up the bomb and threw it into the river before it could explode.
A source told the newspaper that soldiers and policemen came to their rescue and chased the suspected invaders away.
He said the security agents took the injured persons to the hospital for treatment and deposited the corpse of the deceased at the mortuary.
