A 30-year-old man simply identified as Nathaniel Samuel was on Sunday caught with what is suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, at the Sabon Tasha branch of the Living Faith Church, (aka Winners) Chapel in Kaduna.
It was gathered that this was not the first time the suspect was coming to the church.
Just last week, according to a source at the church, the suspected suicide bomber came to the church but was sent away.
The source who is also the Chief Security Officer at the church said the suspect was monitored on a CCTV Camera carrying the bag into the church auditorium.
According to him, the suspect successfully gained access and was already seated before his bag was searched and the explosive device was found..
He, however, said the suspect had been handed over to the police and moved to the Sabon Tasha Division of the Nigeria Police Force.
An officer at the Sabo Police station confirmed that the suspect had been brought there.
However, the Police Public Relations Officer is yet to give updates on the arrest.
