A man who has not been identified has been caught for allegedly holding a bomb on the premises of a bank in Dadin Kowa, Jos South, Plateau State.
According to reports, as soon as it was established that the suspect was in possession of a bomb, an alarm was sounded and he was quickly apprehended in order to prevent a disaster.
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.
