Men of the Plateau State Police Command have arrested a yet-to-be-identified teenager for possessing a bomb on the premises of a bank in Dadin Kowa town in the Jos South area of Plateau State.
Immediately it was discovered that a bomb was in the suspect’s possession, an alarm was raised, and he was quickly pinned down to avert a tragedy.
According to a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X on Tuesday, the attack was prevented by the vigilante security at the bank when they spotted the suspect.

It was reported that an angry mob descended on the suspect and demanded that he should be killed.
A picture attached to Makama’s post showed that the bomb was strapped around the suspect’s belly.
It is, however, not clear if the suspect is linked with the Islamic State of the West African Province or Boko Haram.
He was taken to the Police station where he was undergoing investigation.
