The Nigerian Department of State Security, DSS has arrested the mastermind of last Sunday’s bombing in Jos, Plateau State, and Tuesday’s suicide bomb in Zaria, Kaduna State.
In Jos, a coordinated bomb and gun attack on worshippers at Yan Taya mosque, Dillimi Street, off Bauchi Road, Jos killed 48 people, injuring several others. In Zaria, 26 were killed in a suicide attack on the secretariat building in Sabon Gari Local Government Area during a verification exercise.

We authentically verify it was the DSS under the new leadership of Lawal Daura that made the arrest, though Army Spokesman Colonel SK Usman claimed the arrest, saying “the arrested terrorists are currently being processed for further action and would soon face the full wrath of the law.”
The military stopped the terrorist and two of his accomplices at a checkpoint in Dadin Kowa, Gombe State where they were disguised and hiding in a trailer.
