A source who pleaded not to be named told DAILY POST that the device was detected by men of the anti-bomb squad of the Nigeria Police Force who combed the entire compound very early on Monday morning.
Consequently, security has been beefed up at the premises.
When DAILY POST visited the compound, hordes of security operatives were seen, while visitors were subjected to full identification before entry.
The resident electoral commissioner REC, Dr Nkwachukwu Orji, in his reaction said no bomb was detected.
Orji added that it was the duty of the police to verify the object.
State police public relations officer, Princess Nkeiruka Nwode, said she was not aware of the discovery.
She recalled that she stayed late into the night at INEC and was not privy to such.
CP Umar Garba pleaded to call back when our correspondent reached him on phone.
He was yet to do so as at the time of filing this report.
