A suspected Boko Haram operative has been nabbed in the north-eastern part of Nigeria with a sinister motive to cause mayhem.
The suspect
Yesterday, troops of 101 Battalion, 7 Division Garrison on foot patrol along with some elements of Civilian JTF, intercepted a suspected male suicide bomber at Sabon Gari Jidari.
The suspect carrying primed Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in a blue stabilizer casing gave his name as Yusuf Tasiu. He was dispossessed of the explosives while the Nigeria Police Explosive Ordnance Devices expert safely detonated it.
The suicide bomber is currently being interrogated.
