Two prime suspects and
masterminds of multiple explosions that ripped through the outskirts of the
Nigeria's capital, Abuja, on 2 October have been arrested, the police said. The
attacks in Kuje and Nyanya suburbs, believed to have been carried out by the
Islamist militant group in Boko Haram, killed at least 18 people.
BBC reports that the
police said in a statement that it had foiled another attempt by suspected
terrorists to carry out another in the capital.
It
added that it had recovered "12 already prepared and primed homemade
explosives... 28 pieces of electronic detonators and large quantity of
IED-making materials".
The suspects would soon be
arraigned in court, the statement said.
