Gallant men of the Nigeria Police Force, assisted by other agencies, on Monday uncovered a well disguised bomb factory in Okaito, a remote village in Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Speaking with newsmen in Lokoja,  gathered that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Muhammed Katsina said the discovery was made with the co-operation of the suspect arrested over last Sunday’s bomb explosion near Living Faith Church in Okene.

CP Katsina said the police recovered from the bomb factory, 46 Improvised Explosive Device, three bottles of potassium Chloride, 15 fuses, 15 capacitors, five litres of acid and one electrical detonator.

Others items, were Bibles, Qurans, 250m detonating cord, three remote controlled siren GSM sets, rolls of firing cables, nails of various sizes, ammunitions, motorcycle, and other household items.

He said the factory buildings were designed as a church and a mosque ostensibly to deceive people while in actual fact, they were buildings where bombs of various sizes were manufactured and transportation to other places.

While parading the suspect, CP Katsina warned that any one arrested in connection with insecurity in the state would be punished according to the law, no matter how highly placed.

He also advised property owners, especially landlords to scrutinise prospective tenants thoroughly before giving out their properties.

Also, less than 48 hours after an attack by suspected terrorists gang in the Mahuta Village of Kaduna State, the police in the state said on Monday that they raided a bomb factory located at Rafin-Guza, near Kawo, where it impounded different cans of explosives and bomb-making powder.
