The Special Task Force in Jos on Tuesday arrested
a man said to be attempting to plant a bomb at a market in Riyom Local Government of Plateau State.
The suspect, identified as Monday Davou, was said to have been arrested while assembling materials to setting off a bomb at Makera Market. The market, which holds every seven days, was said to be
full around 11am, when an eagle-eyed man was said to have suspected the movement of the 38-year-old suspecand quickly alerted the security officers nearby who arrested Davou and whisked him away.
A security source told our correspondent that the substances recovered from the suspect were capable of detonating when assembled.
It was learnt that among items recovered from him were bomb timers, some quantity of fertiliser and other dangerous substances used in assembling Improvised Explosive Devices. STF spokesman, Capt. Mdahyelya Markus, confirmed the arrest of the suspect. He said investigations were on to determine the man’s intention. Riyom has become notorious for serial killings in the recurring crisis in Plateau State pitting the indigenous Berom with their Fulani neighbours. However, the lawmaker representing Riyom in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Daniel Dem, disputed the claims of security agencies.
Dem said, “Monday Davou was not the bomber. The police were already on the spot when Davou, who was probably under some influence, engaged the policemen in an argument and in anger, he kicked the clock attached to the bomb. That was why he was arrested and not in connection with the bomb.” The lawmaker said he even confirmed from some security officials in the area and the head of operations in the area had told him that he had instructed that the whole place be thoroughly searched on every market day.
He said “You will recall that this is the second time that a bomb had been discovered in the market and the sector commander had told me that he had instructed his men to comb the market at 4am on every market day before the traders start arriving.”

This is getting more interesting. Now am convinced we have 3 types of Boko Haram

Shekau led Muslim Boko Haram
CAN led Christian Boko Haram
Armed Robbers led Boko Haram

I nor see 'Christian' tag for that tory o.
Wey the OFEGE link sef kwa nu?

See competition!!!!
MAY THE GREATEST BOKO WIN!!!!


Ha-Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Ooooooooooh!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Old Testament in the 21st Century!

Bros 13volts is always struggling to prove that Boko Haram members are born again Christians . . . . . The harder you try . .the more silly it becomes . . . How long would you attempt to twist stories to no end . . .

@13Volts: May you release enough voltage to electrocute thy soul. Say Amen to that. Okay?

The silly responses here says a lot. Somebody is asking he can't find 'Christian' in the story I wander if Monday is a Muslim name? Some body might ask for source soon, and he will be given. Then another would say he doesn't trust that paper, then another one will be provided. Then others would start to attack the person of the OP if all else fails, and on and on it goes. Just stay tuned.

source check out punch

moderator pls copy the link at today punch newspaper and bring it to the front page.

The war against BH was lost or rather slipped when we started using the name Boko Haram loosely for sentimental reasons. The simple truth now is that even the security operatives can't tell the difference between BH boys, political thugs and other common criminals, until this is done then the puzzle may be more difficult to solve.

My people as usual are in gross denial. SMH

. . .but the story is disputed by lawmaker Daniel Dem so who do we believe?

13volts: . . . . Mr. Daniel Dem, disputed the claims of security agencies.
Dem said, “Monday Davou was not the bomber. The police were already on the spot when Davou, who was probably under some influence, engaged the policemen in an argument and in anger, he kicked the clock attached to the bomb.

Did the OP even read this before posting ?

You can say that again

Who disputed the claim? A law maker who probably is in Abuja and might have never been to the said market before.
Who saw the bomber. A fellow Berom man with an eagle eye, who then alerted the stf.
Is this too much for you to understand?
