The Nigeria Police on Tuesday in Abuja said it had arrested two
suspects in connection with the Oct. 2 bombings in Nyanya and Kuje, FCT.
It would be recalled that 20 persons died and 21 others were injured in
the blasts in the two satellite towns. The Inspector-General of Police
(I-G), Mr Solomon Arase, who confirmed the arrest at the Conference of
Senior Police Officers, said that the suspects aged 25 and 27 were from
Kogi.
He said that the arrest had foiled an attempt by the
suspects to undertake another attack in the FCT. Arase said that 12
already prepared and prime Home Made Explosives (HME) concealed in 12
Farouk soft drinks cans and 28 pieces of electric detonators were
recovered from the suspects.
“The suspects are aiding detailed
police investigations into their broad terror network and will be
brought to deserve justice,”he said. The I-G assured that the police
would continue to deploy its potentials to ensure public safety that
could be attained by the cooperation of the public. He urged the media
to continue to support the police in order to attain the national crime
and security vision of the present administration.
