Abuja: Boko Haram's Attempt To Blow Up Airport Foiled

The Department of State Service (DSS) disrupted the plan by Boko Haram militants to bomb the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport using a 14-year-old boy. DSS officials informed the general public about foiled attempt by Boko Haram members to bomb Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport in Abuja. In an official statement DSS said that Boko Haram members used a 14-year-old boy to gather information inside the airport including boarding procedures and passengers’ movement inside the departure and arrival halls. The boy, whose name is Sulaiymon Abdulraman, from Kogi State, was arrested inside the airport. The boy claimed that he had been led on by his criminal companion – Dauda Sadiq also known as Peter. This person is still at large. The DSS is conducting further investigation into this case in association with the Aviation security department to prevent any possible acts of terror in the future.
