Boko Haram: Bomb Maker Arrested In Yobe State!

A suspected Boko Haram bomb maker has been
arrested by security operatives in Potiskum, Yobe
State. The man, identified simply as Ba'na, is
suspected to be behind the fabrication of explosives
used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks.
According to an Agence France Presse report on
Tuesday, the suspect was arrested with nine
accomplices.
"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," a police officer told the AFP.
Ba'na was said to have moved to Potiskum from
Damaturu three years ago and worked as a
stonemason and water vendor before getting
married.
"He was quite good at his disguise and his mason
and water vending jobs gave him perfect cover," the
officer said.
But the spokesman for the Nigerian Police Force,
Emmanuel Ojukwu, told the news agency that he did
not have any information on the arrest.
Potiskum, the commercial capital of Yobe State, has
been hit by a wave of bombings in recent months,
including a suicide attack on a secondary school in
November in which 58 people were killed
