… Suspect Disguised As A Woman
BEVERLY HILLS, July 25, (THEWILL) – Nigerian soldiers are holding a man suspected to be connected with the explosion targeted at former military Head of State and leader of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), on Wednesday in Kaduna, northern Nigeria.
The politician was unhurt in the attack but his security aides were slightly wounded while at least 30 people were killed.
The young man who was apprehended by military patrol team that swooped on the area immediately after the explosion, had disguised as a woman clad in female garb to exude femininity with a brazier affixed to his chest, Nigeria’s Defence headquarters said in a statement on its website.
The military said the suspect was arrested while trying to fizzle into a crowd of onlookers when the patrol team arrived the scene. Youths in the area attempted to mob him while he was being arrested but were restrained by troops who quickly whisked him away in an armoured personnel carrier.
He is currently being interrogated by security agencies in a bid to ascertain his links, the statement said.
