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.
It was gathered that after the suspected bomber parked a
Honda Civic car in the newspaper’s compound located at Ahmadu Bello Way, by
Kontagora, 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.
News feeds coming in reveal 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 immediate
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 their
findings. (PM News)
