It is a five cartridge with a mini-battery connected to a small wire, JoyNews Northern regional correspondent Elliasu Tanko has reported.
It was a street sweeper with Zoomlion who first found it at Abedi Pele roundabout in Tamale after she got ready to start the morning’s work.
The woman gave the device to her brother, Dr Rashid Tanko Computer, who called in the police, Monday afternoon.
