Yobe Police Department Arrests Boko Haram Bomb Maker

A senior police officer who was involved in the Sunday arrest of the man 'suspected of being behind the manufacture of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks' told AFP on Tuesday that, the man, identified only as Ba’na, was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after several weeks of surveillance.

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 10 in which 58 people were killed.

On January 18, at least four people died in an attack on a bus station, while the previous weekend two women wearing suicide vests killed six people at a market and two died in a car bombing outside a police station.

The police officer, who asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said Ba’na was in his mid-thirties and had admitted making the bombs.
“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.
