The suspected Boko Haram member who drove a bomb-laden car into the Kaduna office of Thisday today was arrested by vigilant bystanders, before he could flee the scene.
P.M.NEWS gathered that after the suspected bomber parked a Honda Civic car in the newspaper’s compound located at Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, he quickly came out of the car and tried to get away from the area. But some youths ran after him and asked him why he left his car there when he does not have an office in the building.
P.M.NEWS gathered that as they were beating him and dragging him towards the main road, he kept warning them that the car would explode. Suddenly the car exploded, killing 3 persons in its vicinity.
The suspect who was wearing a blue kaftan and reportedly spoke impeccable English was handed over to soldiers and policemen who drove him to the police headquarters in Kaduna.
When the car was searched two gas cylinders were found in its booth. As at the time of going to press, the man whose identity had not been released was still being interrogated.
The state Police Commissioner is expected to brief the press anytime from now on the police findings.

Drill the animal properly, he knows a awful lot about the bokos and their godfathers. Secondly, everybody should be security conscious now and always,where ever you may choose to stay.

Nigerians, we dont know what we are to do. A month ago bokoboko said that Abuja is the next turn and America warned their people from the strategic places. There is no security in this country. Be secured by yourself, report any suspicious movement in your area.
Na so dem do. Hw many suspect dey their place, later you will here say the man don escape, please let stop deceiving ourselves.
It is the high time the MUSLIM community in Nigeria rise up with one voice to attcck these muderers # if truely they are nt in their support.They said they are fighting against western education yet they keep attacking southern bussiness intrests & churches,as well as continue to kill southerners.if they are not cowards & they are not fighting religious war they should direct their attacks at the schools (NOT STUDENTS) in their region.or attack their govt who conduct bussiness in western language (english).You turned blind eyes & deaf ears at those who stole & share our 1 TRILLION,700 BILLION NAIRA. Yet you go about killng innocent & armedless (weaponless) souls. Surely you & your sponsors are bunch of cowards.
For all of you insinuating that the guy is a Muslim you are all wrong. The culprit is Igbo. Ask whoever you know who stays in Kaduna. Why are they bombing Muslim’s area? Many of them are Igbos and has been caught recently
Take that idiot to Abuja immediately but not Abaji so that those people will not come to attack the Kd police station inorder to release him.
Good jod 4 d vigalan boy bt were are we going in dis conutry
Hmmm…Hmmm! this is a job well-done to those vigilant guys, & i hope they will be role model to all nigerian wherever we may be living that, we all need to be very vigilant for our safety b’cos govt./police/jtf can’t be everywhere.
as for d person that said he should have been killed on d spot, do not forget that he is more usefull alive for u & i’s safety. d info he will be giving d police will go a long way to help d security forces to further strengten their positon against this “unrepentant hypocrites
Despite the saga of bombing in the north, Thisday could not think of covering their offices with CCTV. Dumb pressmen.
The nigerian police must not allow d truth to sleep under d carpet o .Enough of this bombings.
Qudos to those guy who dictect the bomber, but warrior why making this type of imflamatory statement it is highly unfair to abuse other people religion. Please dont say what you know nothing about.
Mmmmmmm sometimes I wonder about the 6 virgins of am correct, what about if its a female sucide bomber , you mean she also will be given 6 hefty male virgins …they will so f*** her
Animal ,they should have wasted and deleted him on the spot so as to hasten the journey to aljanah where Allah will give him 12 virgins as their creed stated
Do u think killing him will let d security agents catch d remaining culprits? Beware of hastened judgement so dat u dont end up doing what u want to correct.
please, this is not a forum to incite any religious uprising.
correct ur comment.
job well done for the vigilant pple, but the suspect must not escape from the police custody and also not insane too. Haba!
Please don’t tell us. The names of the vigilantes
i hope nigeria police will not tell us d guy is insane….
The vigillant youth must be rewarded for a well done job.
good one
