The man, identified as Ba’na, suspected to be behind the fabrication of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks and nine accomplices have been arrested by the Nigerian security operatives in Yobe State.
The suspected bomb maker was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after some weeks of surveillance, said the officer, who was involved in the Sunday arrest.
The police officer, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said
“He confessed to being responsible for the manufacture of the explosives used in at least three suicide attacks and the car explosion outside the divisional police station,” he added.Ba’na allegedly made the explosives used in the November school attack, the January 10 car bombing and January 11 market blasts, the source added.
He was said to have moved to Potiskum from the state capital Damaturu three years ago and worked as a stonemason and water vendor before getting married.
