.Prev1 of 2Next.LESS than 24 hours to the National Assembly Elections, the police in Kaduna uncovered plans to cause massive bombing of parts of the state with over 100 strands of dynamites loaded in three sacks discovered after one of the sacks exploded, killing one suspected bomber.

The state Police Commissioner, Haruna John who was at the St. Gerald Catholic Hospital where one of the suspected bombers was admitted for treatment, told journalists that the bombs were capable of bringing down any building in the state.

The police boss had on Thursday, alerted about plots to cause violence during the National Assembly elections by unknown people, saying that the security agents would not tolerate any act of violence throughout the exercise.

But, a few hours after the police warning, there was bomb explosion at Mahuta village on the outskirts of Kaduna metropolis, killing one of those carrying the bombs, while the other was seriously injured.
John said: “At about 5.00p.m. yesterday (Thursday), the attention of our DPO in Kurmi Mashi was drawn to the fact that two men bearing sacks were unconscious after the sack they were carrying exploded.
“Our men rushed there and the two men, this one on hospital bed and one Lawal who is now dead were picked up and taken to several hospitals and eventually admitted here on the understanding that the police would pay the bills.”

The police boss continued: “We sent our bomb disposal unit led by an Assistant superintendent of police to the scene where they discovered a second sack, which they detonated immediately. They, along with the CID and the SSS conducted a search in the area and discovered a house belonging to this man here (the injured bomber) that was securely locked.

“In that house, they discovered two more sacks that were loaded with materials for making bombs ready for detonation. Each bag was loaded with more than 30 strands of dynamites, the types used by construction workers to break rocks and I can tell you that those things can bring down any building.
“It was only God that saved this city from the hands of these people because if these things were used wherever they are intended for, it would have been terrible. These bombs are not things that even those of us in the service know much about. But thank God that we have one of the best bomb experts in the world. Our bomb disposal unit is one of the best trained in the world and it takes a lot of courage to work in that unit.

“Those bags were detonated by our bomb disposal units and the blast was heard over two kilometres away. The survivor here claimed that some Nigerians and foreigners are involved in this. We are not dismissing that claim and so, we will treat him so that when he gets well, we can get more information from him.
“We have no doubt that there is a foreign connection to this. We have a link of where they intended to attack, but we are investigating the information we have so far. However, the survivor is here and you can talk to him.

Meanwhile, the survivor, currently on hospital bed who gave his name simply as Mohammed alleged that the bomb was brought to them by Osama Bin Ladin, but was quick to add that his late friend never told him what the bombs were intended for.
He said: “My name is Mohammed. The bomb that was brought to my friend exploded on me. I don’t know what my friend intended to do with the bomb.”

Mohammed who said he worked at a Yoghurt factory claimed to have met his late friend Lawal at Gadon Kaya in Kano, pointing out that “he just called me when he came in from Kano and asked me to meet him at the site where the accident happened.”

He stressed: “I don’t know what he wanted to use it for. What happened was that when we met at Mahuta, he received a call and suddenly two people appeared in a black Mercedes 190 model. One of the occupants who is an Arab and the other a Nigerian gave him the parcel which he confirmed to me to be a bomb. The bomb accidentally exploded just as I was about asking him what he intended to do with it”.

The owner of the house where the bomb exploded who gave his name as Abdullahi said he was approached by one of his friends to give the house to Mohammed who wanted to be coming there to read the Qua’ran and he obliged.

Abdullahi who claimed to be an Okada rider said he was building the house to live, but was normally there in the morning hours to read the Qua’ran, adding that he never knew what Mohammed wanted to
