The suspected Boko Haram member who drove a
bomb-laden car into the Kaduna office of Thisday today was arrested by vigilant
bystanders, before he could flee the scene.
P.M. gathered that after the
suspected bomber parked a Honda Civic car in the newspaper’s compound located
at Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, he quickly came out of the car and tried to get
away from the area. But some youths ran after him and asked him why he left his
car there when he does not have an office in the building.
P.M. gathered that as they were
beating him and dragging him towards the main road, he kept warning them that
the car would explode. Suddenly the car exploded, killing 3 persons in its
vicinity.
The suspect who was wearing a
blue kaftan and reportedly spoke impeccable English was handed over to soldiers
and policemen who drove him to the police headquarters in Kaduna.
When the car was searched two
gas cylinders were found in its booth. As at the time of going to press, the
man whose identity had not been released was still being interrogated.
The state Police Commissioner
is expected to brief the press anytime from now on the police findings.
