The State Security Service on Wednesday unmasked the alleged mastermind of last Friday’s bombing of the United Nations building in Abuja.
A statement by the spokesperson for the SSS, Maurilyn Ogar, named the alleged mastermind as Mamman Nur. While declaring Nur wanted, the SSS described him as “a notorious Boko Haram element with al-Queda links.”
The SSS asked the public to provide useful information that might lead to the arrest of Nur, who it said returned to the country from Somalia recently. The agency said two other suspects, Babagana Ismail Kwaljima, a.k.a Abu Sumaya, and Babagana Mali, a.k.a Mali, were already in custody.
“Investigation has revealed that one Mamman Nur, a notorious Boko Haram element with al-Qaeda links who returned recently from Somalia, working in concert with the two suspects, masterminded the attack on the United Nations building in Abuja.
“Further investigation has also revealed that the car used for the attack was a Honda car with Kano State registration number AV38NSR.
“It was purchased on September 3, 2002 and registered on December 3, 2002. The vehicle identification number is 1HGCBA7400A100748, and Engine number, F22A72000540.”
However, unlike what obtains in other countries where the circumstances leading to the arrest of terrorism suspects are made public, the SSS was silent on how the mastermind and his associates planned the bombing. The agency did not also say whether the suspects in its care are the ones the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim, said had been arrested. The IGP at a meeting with diplomatic corps on Monday had said some suspects in the UN bombing had been arrested.
The SSS’ claim that Nur just returned from Somalia tallies with a recent statement by the Boko Haram that some of its members had gone for training in the East African country.
The agency explained that it had arrested Kwaljima and Mali on August 21, 2011 during joint operations by all security services.
It maintained that the two suspects were leaders of Boko Haram, and had made valuable statements to investigators. According to the SSS, the suspects are being held at a military facility, which it refused to disclose.
