The State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Fwaje Atajiri, told NAN on Saturday that the youths engaged in the act Friday night in Arawa area of Gombe metropolis, when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive.
He said the Commissioner of Police, Mr Kudu Nma, had warned youths against taking advantage of such incidents, to commit crime.
Atajiri, who confirmed the suicide bomb incident, said they were still compiling details what exactly happened.
However, a source who did not want his name mentioned, told NAN that the bomber had gone to the area in the night, but was stopped by a vigilant youth at a local market.
