Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- The largest mall in Africa, Morocco Mall, was evacuated for around one hour yesterday after receiving a bomb threat that turned out to be false.
The event occurred at 1:15 p.m according to Morocco’s Le360.
The visitors of the Casablanca-based mall started fleeing the scenes after hearing an alarm, thinking the mall’s security were alerting them against a bomb, especially in the wake of the global terrorism threat around the world.
Ghizlaine El Kermoudi, the media manager of Galeries Lafayette Morocco Mall, told Le360 that it turned out to be “a false alarm triggered by a malicious visitor who deliberately broke the case of an alarm before fleeing the scenes.”
After containing the situation, “security officials reassured everyone. At the moment everything is fine. There is no problem,” El Kermoudi stressed.
