A 30-year-old man was yesterday caught with what is suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the Sabon Tasha branch of the Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel in Kaduna.
It was learned that it was not the first time the suspect was coming to the church, having been sent away just last week. The Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the parish stated that the suspect was monitored on a CCTV camera carrying the bag into the church auditorium.
According to the CSO, simply identified as Edet, the yet-to-be-identified bomber successfully gained access and was already seated before his bag was searched and the explosive device was found.
The suspect was arrested in the church’s toilet after the CCTV cameras exposed him.
He was trying to detonate the device when he was arrested.
