A yet-to-be-identified man has been apprehended for possessing a bomb on the premises of a bank in Dadin Kowa town in the Jos South area of Plateau State.

Reporters gathered that immediately it was discovered that a bomb was in the suspect’s possession, an alarm was raised, and he was quickly pinned down to avert a tragedy.

According to a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on X on Tuesday, the vigilante security at the bank prevented the attack when they spotted the suspect.

Upset by the development, an angry mob descended on the suspect and reportedly demanded that he should be killed.

The suspect was later handed over to the police for proper investigation.

A picture attached to Makama’s post showed that the bomb1 was strapped around the suspect’s belly.

It is, however, unclear if the suspect had been linked to any terrorist organisation in the country.

Godson Brume sentenced to prison in US over firearm possession

Nigerian sprinter Godson Brume has been sentenced to 27 months in prison in the United States for unlawful possession of a firearm while on a non-immigrant visa.   According to TheCable, citing the US Department of Justice, Brume will also face deportation after completing his prison term. The 23-year-old athlete had pleaded guilty in December 2025 before Judge Shelly Dick during proceedings at a federal court. US law prohibits immigrants on temporary visas from possessing firearms except under limited circumstances. Brume, who was in the US on an F-1 student visa, admitted to possessing and discharging a Glock 43X 9mm pistol during an altercation with his ex-girlfriend at his apartment in Baton Rouge on February 7, 2025. The sprinter moved to the US in 2022 on an athletics scholarship to study and train at Louisiana State University. Brume is the younger brother of Ese Brume, one of Nigeria’s most decorated long jump athletes. Before his legal troubles, he represented Nigeria at the 2024 African Athletics Championships in Cameroon, where he won silver in the men’s 4x100m relay. Brume is also regarded as Nigeria’s fourth-fastest 100m sprinter, with a personal best of 9.90 seconds.
