A 35 year old man was caught while trying to plant a
bomb at an Islamic School in Bukuru, Jos South local
government area of Plateau State. The police moved in immediately to detonate the
bomb. The police also defused another bomb planted in
Congo Russia, central area of Jos city. That brings to six the numbers of bombs planted at
different locations in Jos and Riyom in the last thirty
days. Besides, about three bomb factories have been
discovered and detonated in Jos so far. In spite of that
bombs are been discovered in Jos streets now and
then. Members of the community who got hold of the
suspect in Bukuru alleged that there were five of them
that went to the scene to plant the bomb but were
able to grab one of them, while the other four
escaped. The source said, "We were vigilant because we
heard rumour of that attacks were been plotted
against this community, so at about 10pm Friday
night, we saw people strange to us and we monitored
their activities. We later discovered they were about
planting an object, so we went after them and we were able to grab one which we handed over to
security agencies" At Congo Russia area of Jos North local government
another explosion was averted following the
discovery of an improvised explosive devise (IEDS)
planted in the neighbour hood by suspected terrorist
gang. The Plateau State Police Command in a statement by
the Public Relations Officer, DSP Abu Emmanuel, said
at about 11pm on Thursday, there was a distress call
from the Divisional Police Officer of Nassarawa Gwom
about a strange container suspected to be a bomb
planted in the area. "We moved swiftly to the scene to discover it was a
bomb and we immediately defused it. The statement added that Commissioner of police in
the state, Dipo Ayeni appreciates and is highly delighted with
the manner members of the public reacted to the
incident and for notifying the police and called on
them to sustain the tempo. He advised members to report any suspicious
movement of criminal elements to security agencies
with a view to nip in the bud the criminal activities of
terrorist gangs in the state. The police said, "Yes we are in custody of the
suspect who was found allegedly planting bomb in
Bukuru, we cannot disclose his name now, we are
investigating the matter to know his level of
involvement in the crime, so we assumed he is
innocent for now"
