A middle aged  man is reportedly found in a Nigerian Bank in Dadin Kowa town in Jos South in Plateau state with belts packed with what appeared to be a Person Borne Improvised Explosive Device(SPBIED).

It was gathered that he was apprehended  on May 13, 2024, when the suspect was found with an apparent bomb strapped to his body to detonate at 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. 

It is, however, not clear if the suspect is linked with the Islamic State of the West African Province or Boko Haram. He was taken to the Police station where he was undergoing investigation.
