Authorities have detained an unidentified individual who was discovered in possession of a bomb on a bank’s property in Dadin Kowa town, Jos South, Plateau State.
A suspicious item was found, which alarmed security staff into taking quick action. They managed to capture the culprit in time to prevent a disaster.
The prompt reaction of the bank’s vigilante security squad averted a possible attack, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama, who disclosed details of the incident on X on Tuesday.
Security personnel intervened quickly to apprehend the suspected man.
In a concerning turn of events, an angry mob reportedly descended on the suspect, expressing outrage over the attempted act of terrorism. Calls for the suspect’s immediate execution were heard, reflecting the severity of the situation.
Following the apprehension, local authorities took custody of the suspect for further investigation. A photograph accompanying Makama’s post revealed the bomb strapped around the suspect’s abdomen, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
At present, it remains unclear whether the suspect has ties to any terrorist organizations operating within the country. Further details regarding the incident are expected to emerge as investigations progress.
