An 11-year-old boy (names
withheld) was yesterday
afternoon arrested by the
police at Nyanya Division for
allegedly trying to set ablaze
the Area B/C Mosque, near
Customs Quarters in Nyanya,
Abuja.
Imam of the mosque, Zubairu
Mohammed, told newsmen that
the boy had earlier set fire to
one of the Mosque’s Qur’anic
classroomc and did not know
that a security man was
sleeping inside and had noticed
the fire.
He said the security man after
extinguishing the fire, sighted
the boy holding a gallon of fuel
as well as a box of matches
near the main Mosque and
apprehended him.
“The incident happened during
the time of Juma’at Prayers
(1:30 pm) and it was my
security who first alerted me
before I rushed down to see
the boy with a gallon and box
of matches,” the Imam said.
The Imam said he ordered that
the boy be kept with the
mosque’s security’s custody and
went to Jumat service.
He said a senior Imam was told
of the incident and he sent for
the police, who took the boy to
their station.
The Imam praised the divisional
police officer for his effort in
calming the situation and
beginning the investigation.
At the Nyanya Police Station, the
divisional police officer was not
on seat but one Sergeant O.
Ibrahim, said that the boy, a
Christian, confessed that his
accomplice, a student of one of
the secondary schools in
Nyanya, escaped when he was
caught.
“The boy is with the juvenile
section of the station and we
are investigating the matter
because it is very serious,” the
police officer said.
