Man arrested for attempting to bomb a bank in Jos

There was panic in Dadin Kowa town, located in the Jos South area of Plateau State, when a man, who hasn’t been identified yet, was caught with a bomb on the premises of a bank.

The situation escalated quickly, but fortunately, the authorities acted swiftly and managed to apprehend the man.

It was gathered that immediately it was discovered that a bomb was in the suspect’s possession, an alarm was raised, and he was quickly pinned down to avert a tragedy.

According to a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X on Tuesday, the vigilante security at the bank prevented the attack when they spotted the suspect.

Upset by the development, an angry mob descended on the suspect and reportedly demanded that he should be killed.

The suspect was later handed over to the police for proper investigation.

A picture attached to Makama’s post showed that the bomb was strapped around the suspect’s belly.

It is, however, unclear if the suspect had been linked to any terrorist organisation in the country.
