The Nigeria secret police today paraded a five man gang they claimed carried out the first bombing of Nyanya bus station that killed at least 75 people on April 14 2014.
Addressing journalists on Monday in Abuja, Nigeria’s State Security Services Spokesperson Marilyn Ogar said “Nigerian security forces shall not rest on their oars until every individual or group of persons involved in the Nyanya bombings are brought to book.”
Before bringing out five suspects to be photographed and questioned by journalists, she said the suspects were told the bombing was in retaliation for the killing of a Boko Haram member the week
before at the bus station.
But she said that killing never happened. She said security forces are still searching for the alleged “masterminds” of the first Nyanya bombing: Rufai Abubakar Tsiga and Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, a U.K.-born son of a retired colonel who was previously arrested on terrorism-related charges.

But she said lower level Boko Haram militants are still hiding among the population in Abuja.
“Terrorist elements are disguising daily by taking up various businesses and menial jobs in Abuja and its environs. Therefore security awareness of the public and prompt response to information sharing will continue to play a pivotal role in the war on terror,” said Ogar.
