Enemy Within: 'Jaji Bombs Were Made Inside The Barracks'

Eight days after the bombing of the church inside the Jaji military formation in Kaduna State, Daily Sun learnt that the bombs used in the act might have actually been manufactured within the quarters.

This new lead came just as the Board of Inquiry (BoI) set up by military authorities to investigate the bombing commenced work. "There is high possibility that the terrorists actually manufactured the Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) right inside the massive cantonment", a source confided.

While the Jaji ugly drama unfolds, security agencies have continued to comb and demolish suspected hideouts for terrorists in the Federal Capital Territory and its environs.

There are also indications that the investigation of the attack by Boko Haram of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) headquarters in Abuja is raising another unprecedented controversy within the force high command.

Nonetheless, there seemed to be no let down in activities of the terror group as suspected gunmen went on rampage at border post in northeaster Nigeria, setting ablaze churches and border posts.

But in Azare township of Bauchi State, an intense fight between the terrorists and security agents has led to the death of a soldier and several civilians.

In respect of the Jaji incident, Daily Sun got facts that some confessional statements of the arrested soldiers indicatesd that the suicide bombers might have been residents in the large cantonment and actually manufactured the IED right inside the barrack, thereby making it easier for them to have driven straight to the church without being detected.

The initial theories on the blast suggested that the bombers might have infiltrated the barracks through the back borders said to be very porous

The source also said preliminary investigation showed that it was possible the explosives were assembled on the day of attack, reason the attackers came a little after the church dismissed.

The source said that but for some of the members who ran back to the church on hearing the first blast, the casualty figure would have been less before the second bomb planted in a car at the parking lot went off.

The aim of the terrorists according to the source, was to wipe out the entire congregation with the hope that while the first blast would kill members right inside the church, the second would take care of those trying to run out of the church.
