Police in Lagos yesterday confirmed that  they are interrogating a man believed to be carrying some items suspected to be explosives.
It was gathered that the suspect was arrested at Orile Bus stop in Lagos.
The Commissioner of Police in charge of the bomb disposal unit, Mr Foluso Adebanjo, confirmed that the  man is in their custody.
He said: “A man was arrested and we are still interrogating him and cannot say whether what was found on him are explosives or not for now”.
The suspect who was simply identified as Lawal had joined members of Living Faith Church, aka Winners’ Chapel, who were going for worship at the church’s headquarters in Sango Ota, Ogun Sate.
He was suspected to be carrying explosive by some of the church members who raised the  alarm.
One of the worshipers who pleaded anonymity said the suspect was shabbily dressed and was acting strangely.
“He was looking shabby but when scrutunised closely, we discovered he had some celotaped substances with a celotaped mobile phone on his hand.
“We became suspicious because wire was attached to the substance and it looked carefully seal,” he said.
According to a source, the members wondered how he would be carrying those items.
Two members of the church-  who are security operatives - and were also riding in the bus were invited to examine the items found on the suspect.
The source said after the examination by the security men, the man was arrested and handed over to the police at  Orile Police division.
A source at the Orile Police Station confirmed that the suspect was carrying heavy gadgets including a cell phone connected with a wired attached to the substance and carefully sealed and cellotaped.
The Police source said the suspect also had an extra phone that was equally cellotaped.
