Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has ordered
the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos Airport Command, Waheed
Salau, to immediately transfer the suspect arrested with an improvised
explosive device, IED, at the Lagos airport to the Anti-Robbery Squad in
Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The order is coming after
the suspect allegedly confessed that he and two others now at large were
sent to bomb the airport and other highly populated areas in Lagos
State.
IGP Suleiman Abbabba
According
to a police source at Airport Command, the signal came from Abuja
Tuesday morning after Salau, the Police Commissioner in charge of the
Lagos Airport Command, sent a preliminary report on the alleged
confession of the suspect to Abba.
The suspect was
arrested at the airport by security operatives while he was about to
bomb the Centrex Unit of the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency along
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
The
22-year old physically challenged suspect confessed to the security
operatives that they were three that were sent to bomb the airport and
other parts of the city of Lagos.
When P.M.NEWS reporter visited the Airport Police Command Tuesday morning, officers were seen discussing the incident.
They
declined to speak with our reporter and referred him to the
international airport to meet the spokesman. The PPRO was not in the
office when our reporter visited and his phone rang but he did not pick
the call.
