The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested the masterminds of the Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack which occurred on December 29, 2022, near the palace of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland in Okene, Kogi State.

Recall that the explosion occurred shortly before the visit of the President Muhammadu Buhari to commission some projects in the State.

The suspects arrested were Abdulmumin Ibrahim Otaru (a.k.a Abu Mikdad) and one of his associates, Saidu Suleiman.


DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya, said the suspects were arrested on January 3, 2023 and Otaru sustained a gunshot injury on his left foot while attempting to escape.

He further said: “During investigations, it was ascertained that Otaru was a high commander of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and either coordinated or was involved in the following dastardly operations: the 24th June, 2022 attack on Nigeria Police Area Command, Eika-Ohizenyi, Okehi LGA of Kogi State. A Police Inspector, Idris MUSA was killed and two AK-47 rifles carted away in that attack;

“The 5th July, 2022 attack on Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kuje Area Council of the FCT; and
the 5th August, 2022 attack on West African Ceramics Ltd (WACL) in Ajaokuta LGA, Kogi in which three Indian expatriates were kidnapped. It would be recalled that five persons including one Indian, two Policemen and two drivers of the company were also killed in the attack. The kidnapped expatriates were released on 31st August, 2022.”

I just read a thread you were threatening to report someone to the presidential guards for insulting the president's wife. Now you are here accusing a highly respected presidential candidate as the masterminder of the crime. Hope you also report yourself to same presidential guard and the dss for this malicious and inciting post. President Buhari is a respected man and I am very sure he does not associate with shallow minded people. You are deliberately giving the president a bad name by posting rubbish that has no meaningful contribution to the average Nigerian. Always preaching hatred. Is this how a responsible Nigerian should behave? I just pity those that will vote in any candidate these kind of urchins support. They never love other Nigerians, especially those from the south and yet you preach 'one Nigeria' and still have the guts to flex with money gotten from oil well. The owner of Nairaland should try and moderate this site. A situation thugs and miscreants just post rubbish just to feel among. A situation were vermins just love to create a disorganized society. Smh

Incredible

Look at the kind of people, destroying the peace of Nigeria.....

sall akbooooooom!
