From Edwin Olofu, Kano

The Kano state Police Command says its men have arrested one Mohammed Kabir, a final year student of BUK(BUK) Kano, for allegedly being in possession of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
A statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) ASP Magaji Musa Majia, described Kabir as an indigene of Auchi in Edo state.
He explained that the suspect was apprehended recently when he concealed in a bag of flour mixed with guinea corn peels, a remote controlled bomb and dropped it in a junction close to a popular GSM market at Farm center in the city.
The statement said that a passer-by who alerted the police noticed when Kabir, riding on a tricycle, dropped the lethal weapon.
According to the statement, “the police and the bomb disposal unit stormed the area and cordoned off the scene and discovered an IED concealed in a bag.
“The bomb was detonated without any injury to anybody or damage to property around.”
“Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of one Mohammed Kabir, a level 400 student of Business Administration at BUK and lives adjacent to the scene.”
The statement noted that investigation into the matter continues even as the suspect has confirmed ownership of the bag.

    I SUGGEST THAT THE STUDENT BE PROPERLY DEALT WITH AND ALSO TORTURE HIM TO CONFESS WHO THE SPONSOR IS. GOOD JOB WELL BY BY THE PASSERBY AND THE POLICE.

  2. May God Almighty continue to expose the evil doers, also I pray security agencies and government will wake to their responsibilities to deal properly with the culprits so as to give sign of warning to those who have the same intention of this madness.

  3. alhamdulillah !. thats just the behinig, our prayer shall never be in vain.
    but on the otherhand, we hope we will hear about him again. ‘mek him no disapear like carbonite smoke after some few dayz woo !.

  4. He should just repent and accept Jesus Christ as His Lord an Seviour and God will have mercy on Him.
