A yet-to-be-identified man has been arrested for having a bomb strapped around his belly while on the premises of a branch of the United Bank for Africa (UBA)in Dadin Kowa town in the Jos South area of Plateau State.
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.
Angered by the development, an irate mob reportedly descended on the suspect and demanded that he should be sent to the Great Beyond.
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.
