Police in Kano State have arrested a fake
female suicide bomber, following a bomb
scare in the commercial city of Kano.
The incident occurred around 12.30p.m.
on Monday, when the police guard on
duty at the Kwali Police Division
suspected a strange middle-aged woman
in Burqa heading to the station, reports
Vanguard, citing eyewitnesses
“The strange woman refused to stop for
scrutiny, when ordered by the police
guard at the security post,” a source told
Vanguard.
The policemen subsequently mobilized
themselves and surrounded the strange
woman for failing to comply with police
order.
“I am ready to die. But mark you, there
are two others at large in the city,” the
source quoted the woman as saying.
A security source, who also spoke to
Vanguard confirmed the incident. “We
acted fast and got her sleeping with a
substance fired at her,” he said.
“To our surprise, the woman had covered
herself with used pomade containers and
sundry harmless objects.”
He added that preliminary investigation
showed that the strange woman is
mentally deranged, but the police will
make no conclusions on this until an
expert confirms it.
Kano State Police Public Relations, ASP
Magaji Majia, could not confirm the
incident, as he said he was out of the
country.
