Main PageBomb Scare: Air Force Personnel Escapes Lynching
An Air Force personnel carrying a bag was
roughened at a mosque in Nasarawa ward in Yola
on Friday after he was mistaken for a suicide
bomber, the Weekly Trust reported.
Eyewitnesses said the uniformed soldier man
attempted to pass through the congregation but
refused to declare the contents of his luggage when
he was asked to do so, prompting suspicion that he
could be carrying explosives.
"It took the intervention of vigilantes who whisked
him to Dubeli Police Station where he was protected
by the police. People were apprehensive because of
recent happenings. It is a common fact that Boko
Haram insurgents do wear military uniforms," a
resident said.
Confirming the incident, the Adamawa State police
spokesman, DSP Othman Abubakar, said the soldier
was attending Friday prayer at the mosque when a
false alarm was raised against him. He said if not for
the timely intervention of the police, the soldier
would have been lynched and advised the public
report suspicious people to the police instead of
taking the law in their hands.
Residents have become vigilant at worship centres
and other public places out of fear of possible Boko
Haram attacks.
