An unidentified man reportedly stormed a Nigerian bank in Dadin Kowa town, Jos South, Plateau State with belts packed with what appeared to be a Person Borne Improvised Explosive Device (SPBIED).
It was gathered that the suspect was apprehended on May 13, 2024, with an apparent bomb strapped to his body in the bank.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region that the vigilante Security at the bank prevented the attack after they spotted the suspects.
They immediately apprehended him before he could achieve his aim.
The suspect was later surrounded by an angry mob who demanded that he should be killed immediately.
His motives remain unclear and whether he has links with the Islamic State of the West African Province or Boko Haram.
He was taken to the police station where he was undergoing investigation.
