Kano explosion: Police confirm it’s IED, arrest 2, impound vehicle with bombs.

Kano state Police Command has confirmed that last Tuesday’s explosion that rocked Kano was from Improvised Explosive Device, IED, and not gas cylinder as earlier claimed, even as two suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident.


This development followed an outcome of investigation by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal-Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense, EOD-CBRN, and Operation Puff Ader

Also, names of the victims who died in the explosion and whose bodies were recovered and names released by the Police were Ejike Vincent (welder), Michael Adejo (chemical seller), Musa Kalla (tea seller), Christiana Abosede and Mary.


Others were Austin Dada, Madam Owoleke, Omo Ben and Bose Oladapo.
Kano State Police Command, in a statement through its Public Relations Officer, PRO, Haruna Kiyawa, informed that “preliminary investigation revealed that among the nine victims of the explosion, one of them dealt in illicit storage of toxic chemicals and other hazardous materials.


He was later identified as Michael Adejo (now late). Items recovered at the scene include five bottles of different brands of Acidic Liquid, three bags of Potassium substance, one Jeri can of mixed chemicals, six and a half cartons of Snuff (Tobacco) and five drums of Polymer (Chemical).


“Technical Investigation conducted by the command’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal – Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence, EOD-CBRN, revealed that the explosion is suspected to have occurred as a result of mixed Chemical / Gas reactions exposed to a source of heat, such as fire, spark or increase in pressure resulting in combustion/shock waves, creating an explosion which can have shattering effects.


“Meanwhile arrests have been made linking one of the collapsed shops with dealings in sales of illicit, toxic chemical substances and combustible materials suspected to be used for making Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs,. Evidence of purchase was also recovered. An investigation is in progress” the police stated.

In a similar development, another possible attack has been averted, as the police impounded a vehicle carrying IEDs in Kano.


“In another development, on Thursday, following an intelligence report that, a Mercedes Benz Motor Vehicle, Ash in color with suspected sophisticated IEDs was coming from Jigawa State to Kano State, the Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, CP Sama’ila Shu’aibu Dikko, immediately raised a crack team comprising Explosive Ordnance Disposal – Chemical, Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defence (EOD-CBRN) and Operation Puff Adder.

At about 1630hrs of the same date, following a hot chase, the suspects abandoned the Motor Vehicle at Bubbugaje Quarters Kumbotso LGA Kano State. A technical search conducted by the team revealed that the motor vehicle was fully loaded with Improvise Explosive Device materials. Two (2) AK-47 Rifles, Four (4) AK-47 Magazines, One Thousand and Ninety-Eight (1,098) Live Ammunition, and Two (2) Pistol Magazines were also recovered. An investigation has commenced.


“The Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, Sama’ila Dikko, thanked the Kano State Government, the people of the State, Sister Security Agencies, Traditional Rulers, Religious Leaders, Members of Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Civil Liberty Organizations (CLOs) and Community Policing Stakeholders for their prayers, encouragement, continuous support and cooperation.

He urged residents to continue praying for the State, the Nation, be vigilant, and report any suspicious person(s), item(s), movement or incidences to the nearest Police Station, and not take laws into their hands. Round-the-clock visibility patrol and raids of criminal hideouts and black spots will continue throughout the State, as the command will sustain the ongoing “Operation Puff Adder” that has been yielding positive results.”

North and bomb nah 5&6

May God forgive the shortcomings of the explosion victims
Hmm, there's God

So it took the police almost a week to discover what the public knew was a bomb from the very beginning.

Naija polis I hail oo

That Kano State Emergency Management Agency boss opened his mouth waaaa and spewed rubbish on National TV insisting that a forensic investigation revealed the explosion to have been caused by a leaking gas cylinder.

This is Nigeria and what the ruling political class cannot do, does not exist.

Buhari's administration will go down in history as the worst of them all.

This country tire me.
Abeg I need help, anyone with a heart of gold should help me, I need to run comot na only money I never get. Help oooo before Naija finish all of us.

So sad!
All the denials and now it is confirmed it was a bomb blast.

Shame on the Nigerian government.

Nigeria is a portion for the dogs

Bomb or cylinder, they are same same, it is only how to use it and what you use it for,
Thank God this one is averted if not there would have been another black day.

Don't tell me you believed the bull shit that idiot was saying. I stopped believing most of what these guys say a very long time ago. If these guys should greet me with a good morning I would have to check and confirm what time it is before responding.
The time, place and manner of the explosion was too precise for it to have been an accident.

You see am.

The solution to Nigeria's myriad of problems is the absence of a functional justice system, in which we are all complicit.

Everyone misbehaves, knowing that our laws are ineffective and everything can be bought.

Whatever happens, don't be the one who dies.

This is Nigeria; look at how we are living now
Government of lies

Hopefully further investigations will reveal those behind the bomb making.

RIP to the dead including Musa the Tea Seller.

The police CP that initially claimed it was a gas cylinder and the Kano state emergency response agency personnel that featured on Arise TV maintaining he was there when the incident happened and it was a gas cylinder explosion are both mad.

Infact they should be redeployed to Orlu in Imo state to face UGM or Kaduna _ Abuja highway to face kidnappers or better still the lake Chad basin to take a census of peaceful people left there.

Foools

No one can conceal the truth for long

Bastards.

Toh......where are those fools that doubted when I insisted it was a bomb explosion, the police spread lies when the truth stares them in the face, the man selling gas near the school wasn't affected at all.

Cc Golan007

Nigeria on edge of collapsing completely


"Nairaland MOD what is it wit u guys this day with bringing old news and meaningless thread wey no suppose pass "Trending" to Front page.
Pls you can do better"

Gas explosion without fire

God will never forgive Buhari and his useless supporters, may Nigeria happen to your households, may you bury your children, may the sound of a new baby never be heard in your families... Iseeeeeeeee

Meanwhile Igbo Amaka

Fulanis Bastards.

The Kano PS was in a hurry to announce that it was a gas explosion without going through a patient and painstaking investigation!
The perpetrators are now 5 steps ahead of the security operatives and will strike again!

Afonjakid:
Southerners especiallyy Yorubas being killed

No, na only Igbos dey migrate to other regions.

Non-Igbos don't migrate to the east, but only Igbos migrate to other regions. That's what they say here.

When we first read the news here, from the pictures posted, one could vividly deduce that it was a bomb blast and not a gas explosion. I mean, How could it have been a gas explosion without flames and the victims not charred?

But little did we know that those who dismissed every clue pointing to the incident been bomb attack, sadly, were the major victims of that dastardly attack.

Most yoruba peeps on this forum are busy running naked and helping these evil government spread propaganda on UGM attacks in the South East. Naptu and his comrades are busy updating us on UGM, pining the attacks of Federal Government backed Fulani herdsmen cum UGM on IPOB and trying to deceive the world into believing that Igbos are killing themselves in the name of freedom or hatred for Buhari while the same Fulani government is systematically taking out yoruba people coordinated attacks both in the North and even in their west.

There's noting hidden under the sun that won't come to light, no matter how long it takes, the real perpetrators of these heinous crimes in Imo state before, and now Anambra state will publicly be known. RIP to the dead.
