By SaharaReporters, New York

Kaduna State Police Command early today recovered bomb making materials and arms from a confessed terrorist.

The development comes barely 24 hours after alert youths in the Rigasa suburb of Kaduna captured two suspected terrorists and recovered arms and ammunition from them.

Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, M.J. Abubakar, spoke to the press today about the developments. “In our continued clampdown on criminal elements in the state, on 16/07/2012 at about 0200 hrs, a confessed terrorist led a team of detectives from our anti-robbery squad to Rafin-Guza area, where a hideout was raided,” said Mr. Abubakar. He detailed the seized exhibits:

Eight car alarm systems; one AK 47 magazine with twenty-seven rounds of live ammunition; two masks; two bags of chemical; four khaki uniforms; one jerry can of acid; a variety of cans of explosives, and a bomb making powder.

Mr. Abubakar also spoke about the suspected terrorists captured on Sunday morning in Rigasa area. “On 15/07/2012, at about 0930 hrs, following distress calls as sporadic gun shots were being fired at Hayin Taro-Taro, Rigasa area, a police patrol team raced to the scene,” said the commissioner. He added that the police team discovered that three gunmen on a motorcycle were attacking the residence of one Aliyu Abdulwahab, the district head of Afaka. As the residents of the area raised an alarm, the gunmen shot indiscriminately in a bid to escape. Mr. Abubakar stated the gunmen injured seven persons in the process.

“Police and army patrol teams assisted by the youths around went in hot pursuit and arrested two of them, Nura Abubakar and Mohammed Kabir at Mahuta village, with injuries,” the commissioner said. He disclosed that two AK 47 rifles, three magazines, ammunition and some improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also recovered.

The commissioner stated that the seven injured victims were being treated at 44 Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna. Meanwhile the suspects and exhibits are in the custody of the Nigerian Army 1st Division in Kaduna.

The boko haram saga

Please fellow Nigerians although it is very clear that Christians and muslims do not serve the same God and ofcourse have different believes, fighting and abusing one another will not help anyside, there are other believes and as long as God allows this world to exist people will always choose what and who to believe and none of you can do anything about. The truth still remains the truth and no matter how you analyze it, it is still truth. The boko originates from islam the northern islamic leaders did not expect it to get to this level, it all started with sharia, then islamic banking, now it has gotten to the stage of an islamic state, the whole episode is crippling the northern economy. The northern leaders have discovered thier error, they need to be brave and take a stand let this evil people not destroy the north. God help Nigeria.

kudos

i gve kudos 2 all da youths in rigasa kaduna, da stood dia ground n aprhended dos terrorist.

Good work

Good work brothers, one love keep us together.

Now i am confident of what i have been thinking

I have always known that not all northern support this madness. No matter how the few trouble makers would want the majority peace loving people of the norther to act otherwise, atleast some are rising up to say reject them and say no babarism. This is an encouragement to others who are still sitting on the fence to join in the fight against terror. They are very few, and together we can round them up easily.

prayers

God do it again and let your Glory be known in 9ja

They should be taken to

They should be taken to police custody in another state outside northern region for investigation. The state should not be disclose to anybody.

Good effort from youth

Yamba, You are a traitor to

Yamba,

You are a traitor to your people. Why should you praise those who oppress and arrest Arewa freedom fighters? Are you against the brave fighters because you are not a true muslim? For once, support your people.

Kabir Sokoto, There is no

Kabir Sokoto,

There is no need to ask, you know the sponsors. They are mohammedans.

Reuben Abati and Minister of Information should wake up

What is the minister of information and Reuben Abati doing? They have simply allowed RATS and COCKROACHES sent by El Rufai, to dominate the internet. Tribune has confirmed my suspicion all this while -

@Okey Ndibe.,must apologise 4 his stupid article on Edo Election

@Okey Ndibe..,a member of the anti-GEJ conglomerate (consisting of SR, Premium Times, Punch, black market writers, internet RATS and COCKROACHES, majority of hausa-fulanis) must apologise to our dear president Jonathan and Nigerians for his STUPID article on the just concluded Edo elections. See the STUPID article titled-
How the PDP “Won” Edo Governorship By Okey Ndibe.

Bravo, our gallant security

Bravo, our gallant security men, bravo to gallant and patriotic boys in Rigasa who arrested d suspects. It is now becoming clear to dos who have been blaming d entire muslims in d north for either involving or sponsoring BH insurgency. I'm a christian,Pls,for God's sake stop insulting the prophat of Islam.We need collaborative efforts to fight d terrorests The end of terrorism in Nigeria is very near.

More prayers for police

I wish to salute our dear brothers and friends in Rigasa kaduna for exposing Boko Haram by assisting police to arrest two of them yesterday.Boko Haram are not spirit,they are visible and can be arrested and resisted by people.My prayer is that our police will not addressed the press about arrest only to go and allowed them escape.
Police authority should learn to give credit to those that help in the arrest.

Do not torture them in

Do not torture them in custody. Give them the best food to stay alive, so that you can get all useful information from them including the names of their sponsors.

As a Nigerian born, I know the tendency of the people to melt instant jungle justice by beating to death a criminal suspect but you lose a lot of information that way. They will be prosecuted later no doubt about ...

For goodness, we're not

For goodness, we're not interested in seeing his stash of WMDs. The question to ask him are, Who are your sponsors? Why are you doing this??

BH

It was the youths that capturr the terrorists nof police/soldiers. Kudos to the youth. Insha Allah we will succeed against our enemies.
