Female Bomber Arrested In Abuja.

Abuja — What could have been another
Boko Haram tragic incident this year, was
averted over the weekend, by staff of a
private security firm, Encouragers Security
company Limited, thwarted attempt by a
female suicide bomber, suspected member
of the deadly Islamic sect, Boko Haram from
gaining entrance into the complex of the
Federal Capital Territory Administration
(FCTA) with explosives.
The incident which happened on Friday, last
week, during working hours , send fears
into the spine of thousands of workers who
were aware of the development making
them to hurriedly close from work before
the usual 4 pm official closing hours
Daily Champion learnt from reliable sources
that the slim fair -in complexion lady in her
20s who hails from Alkaleri Local
Government Area of Bauchi State, where the
FCT minister also hails from was arrested by
the security men at the gate with two
explosives items.
The FCTA complex which the sect had
attempted bombing houses the offices of
the FCT Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed;
Minister of State FCT Oloye Olajumoke
Akinjide and Minister of Agriculture and
Rural Development Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina
as well as thousands of other workers.
According to the source, the fairly looking
leady had arrived at the area 11 around
noon from Dei-Dei a suburb of the FCT
where she passed a night upon arrival in
the FCT.
She was said be a first time visitor to Abuja
and could not locate the FCTA therefore, had
to a hire a taxis that brought her to the
target.
When she arrived, she found the security
arrangement hard to penetrate and she
quickly contacted her co travelers in the ill
fated project but she was told to wait then,
she decided to be loitering waiting for the
next instruction from her sponsors.
Daily Champion further gathered from
source that the plot by hers sponsors was to
keep her till their expected arrival from Kano
after the 2 pm Jumat prayers would have
been over and then, instruct her to fellow
the crowd that usually prays outside the
premises inside unchecked, to pave way for
them to effectively detonate the bomb.
According to the source when the next
instruction from her sponsors delayed in
coming, the visibly worried attempted in
entering the complex through the gate
meant for only motorist then she was asked
by the private guard where she was going.
She could not satisfy the guard about her
mission with her poorly spoken English
which made the security man to suspect her
motive.
She was said to have managed to inform the
security man that she was waiting for her
brother, at this point the guard ask her to
identify herself and she said she was
coming from Kano this made security guy
curious as the bomber was quickly arrested.
Our source told us that the lady confessed
that when the JUMAT ended she actually
became unhappy and afraid that she was
going to kill so many Muslims who came out
from the FCTA premises to pray.
Our correspondent further learnt that when
the FCT Minister heard about the incident he
ordered that the lady be brought to his
official residence where he was at the
moment and upon confession of the
planned attack the female bomber was
handed -over to the Police Special Anti-
robbery Squared (SARS).
While she was being detained at the SARS
office in Guzape, District, her sponsors gut
wind of it and made attempt to bomb the
SARS office in order to prevent her from
revealing important information.
All attempt by our correspondent to speak
with the FCDA Divisional of Police Officer as
well as the Special Assistant to the FCT
Minister on security proved abortive as
several calls put across to the DPO phone
were not answered.
