RIVERS State Police Command have released details about the suspect arrested in a recently failed bombing attempt in Port Harcourt.
It will be recalled that on 25 June, a substance believed to be dynamite went off near the Presidential Hotel axis of the Aba Expressway causing panic in the area.
Two months later, the State Police Command said the suspect was a member of a cult group – Vikings Confraternity.
Disclosing this in a statement on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Rivers Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said the suspected bomber underwent three major surgeries and has made a significant recovery.
“Preye, who has undergone three major surgeries and has made a significant recovery, will soon be charged in a court of competent jurisdiction after the investigations are completed,” she said.
“Preye, who was evasive to Police arrest, was identified as the dynamite detonating expert of the gang. The suspect had also informed operatives of the Command that the explosion was a result of a dynamite. He is a member of the Vikings Confraternity. Efforts are still ongoing to arrest others involved in the crime.”
