Anti-bomb cop dies in Kaduna twin bomb explosions On February 15, 2012 · In News Tweet By Luka Binniyat KADUNA – A twin bomb blast tore through Kaduna yesterday, killing a policeman and injured a Senior Special Adviser to the governor, Col. Dangana Maman (rtd). The first one went off at Ungwar Sarki Market, Kaduna North Local Government of Kaduna State at about 11:30am yesterday. Ten minutes later, another blast occurred about 500m away, under a busy overhead pedestrian bridge instantly killing a policeman, Sergeant Sunday Badang, an anti- bomb specialist who was trying to defuse the bomb. The first explosion took place opposite the Kaduna state Transport Authority, KSTA, park, while the second explosion occurred at Sultan Bello road still in same Ungwar Sarki. Late Badang sources said, was killed while using a bomb scanner to ascertain an object suspected to be a bomb allegedly dumped by Boko Haram sect in the area, which was near the Sultan Bello Mosque – an imposing structure revered by Kaduna Muslims as their central Mosque. Announcing the death of Badang, the state Police Commissioner, Mr Nasarawa said, “Today (yesterday) at about 10. 40am and 10.45am respectively, there were two explosions that occurred at Ungwar Sarki Bus Stop Kaduna. “The first Improvised Explosive Device, IED, exploded in a gutter near a parked 15-seater bus. No one was affected but as the second explosion occurred, a police anti bomb personnel, Sgt Sunday Badang, was about to defuse it and the IED exploded and he was killed instantly. “The fragment (of the IED) affected two other persons near the scene. They were rushed to 44 Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna, for treatment and the victims are in stable condition. The area was equally swept by the police anti-bomb squad and no other explosive device was detected. Equally we have beefed up security in the entire state and members of the public are advised to report any suspicious object to security agencies and to avail us with credible information that will nip in the bud, these criminalities.” Meanwhile, soldiers and policemen had a hectic time in trying to control a large crowd of curious people under the bridge just as most banks in the Kaduna metropolis closed abruptly to customers at 2 p.m. following the two bomb blasts that occurred in the city. Eye witnesses told Vanguards at the scene of the explosion that shortly after the first bomb exploded, another polythene bag containing some objects was discovered under the bridge. One of the eye witnesses, Mallam Sani Ali said: “After the first explosion, policemen and soldiers were attracted to a polythene bag kept under this bridge. Those who saw the first explosion at the market side said it came from a similar bag. “The deceased policeman asked the soldiers to leave the place to enable him scan the polythene bag but as he placed his instrument on the bag, it exploded and killed him, prompting people to run away.” The body of the policeman was still lying on the main road with more than half of his body parts scattered all around the places, as at the time Vanguard visit there, even as schools, banks and shops were being closed in the area. About three weeks ago, multiple explosions hit one at an Army formations in which the lone bomber was killed in his explosive laden vehicle. Meanwhile, some bank customers told NAN that the the closure of the banks would affect their businesses. ’’We cannot carry or leave large sum in our shops.’’ Mr Emeka Agu, a trader, expressed disappointment at the development, saying that the blasts did not take place near commercial or business areas. Banks along Yakubu Gowon Way, Ahmadu Bello road and Bank road among other business areas, stopped attending to customers at 2 p.m. Mr Beji Auta, a security man at the First Bank, noted that the bank stopped rendering services for undisclosed reasons, but guessed that it was intended to ensure safety of customers’ deposits |

they sent a single troop with what looks like very little experience and almost no protection to check out a suspected bomb? |

i tried watching the video. i stopped when i saw the mofo approaching the bomb without body armour, not even a helmet and face protection, and the crowd was cheering. either darwin is right or he committed suicide. |

Valid question. What is happening to the security budgets? Two groups killed that policeman; 1. Boko-haram 2. The Corrupt Nigerian Government |
Re: Sgt Sunday Badang Died In The Bomb Blast At Ungwar Sarki In Kaduna by Claus(m): 4:21pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
It's sad that it happened this way, but there's absolutely no excuse for it to happen again. The authorities that were not pro-active enough in the face of growing bomb threats now need to react by giving proper training and equipment to bomb disposal units. |
Re: Sgt Sunday Badang Died In The Bomb Blast At Ungwar Sarki In Kaduna by tit(f): 4:26pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
dare2think: i beg to disagree. the young man killed himself. was he forced to approached the bag with only his khaki? he no get brain? did he not ask himself what are the possible outcomes of this my venture? what will happen to my children? is it not better we all pull back and give the bag a few rounds of my 47? what were they trying to prove by defusing the bomb? did they want to get fingerprints or what? |

What a horrifying video. It was dumb to go check out a bomb without taking precautionary measures. So sad. |

What this police officer did was very heroic. He saved the lifes of the soldiers and other people around. If I were Jonathan I'd immortalise him, this will strengthen the country's resolve against the Boko Haramists |
Re: Sgt Sunday Badang Died In The Bomb Blast At Ungwar Sarki In Kaduna by Afam4eva(m): 4:33pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
Obinoscopy: What's heroic about his action? It was dumb if you ask me. |

Unfortunately the widow & children of the deceased cop are about to see the other side of corruption associated with NP, when it come to collecting death benefit. They are about to get the true definition of cultural shock! My heart goes out to them, may God see them through the dark days. He was a hero, a martyr. |

tit: OK. If he had been trained and accorded the proper gears to deal with this situation it might have been a different outcome. For that I blame our corrupt government. Somebody has made away with the funds that should help with this type of problem. I blame boko-haram for obvious reasons, nobody has the right to take another life regardless of their political or religious nonsense. However I still get your point, dont know why he had touch talk less of looking inside. |

afam4eva: Indeed my brother. Not one to speak ill of the dead but I must say his action was extremely reckless. What happened to sending in one of these considering we have been under bombing seige for a while now? [img]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgjbUGMUy4lDsNFyL4a-8jj7sZTv_0E0fMckbF9ospzJ1TBP78[/img] No money to buy bomb detonation robots? Surprise, surprise considering that corruption and Government largesse is now at an all time high. Nothing typifies this more than what is being spent, a vast increase on last year, to buy vehicles for Senators. Nigerians should read what is written below to understand that this was a man sent to his death by a Nation with the most cruel folks , with totally wrong priorities, as leaders. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/absolute-poverty-doubles-senators-receive-cars-costing-100k-each As Absolute Poverty Doubles, Senators To Receive Cars Costing $100k Each |

You people should stop feigning ignorance of the reality on ground due to corruption in the country and stop blaming the poor gallant policeman, without such willing patroits, Nigeria will be without a security agency. |
Re: Sgt Sunday Badang Died In The Bomb Blast At Ungwar Sarki In Kaduna by beespak7(m): 5:36pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
Horrible!!! The policeman had the chance to cheat death but acted very stupidly. I noticed that the metal detector in his hand made a beeping sound thats when he should have run away immediately that way he should have survived but he was trying to dismantle a suspected bomb without any form of protective clothing very stupid. I suspect that the man that filmed this video, was the same person that detonated the bomb. Notice the way the camera shifted upward b4 the explosion, so that he could detonated the bomb this is so sad. death to boko haram!!!

jamace: I do not believe that is gallantry There is a yoruba sayings in 2 sentences: 1. "Moja mosa, l'an mo Akinkanju l'ogun" meaning a warrior is identified by his attack & retreat skills 2. "Akinkanju to m'oja ti o m'osa, ma nba ogun lo ni" meaning a warrior who knows how to attack but not how to retreat will loose his life That I see as stupidity on his part. It's pathetic and felt for his family |

Sheer Foolishness not heroic act. Suicide not bomb blast victim. |

@ Tit I'm sure you are not in Naija. If you are, you would have known that this method is being used to detonate bomb. How will the Sgt refuse to carry out lawful instruction. Where did you get the training that AK47 is the best method to detonate bomb? Anyway, we all in NL have seen that a robot could be used to detonate a bomb. Let us cry to Nigerian Authority to provide these robots and other equipment for the NPF in view of the prevailing situation. May God provide, keep and sustain those the Sergeant left behind. Amen! |
