Reports from the Punch news says a Policeman was allegedly killed on Wednesday while trying to prevent the bomber from driving into the Emab plaza, Abuja to wreck maximum havoc and increase the casualty rate.
It was gathered that the Policeman who apparently saved thousands from being killed, was said to have stopped the driver of the bomb-laden car from driving into the plaza when he attempted to jump the queue of cars that were driving into the plaza. A Policeman at the scene informed our correspondent on Thursday, that the unidentified Policeman later chased after the vehicle and was about catching up with it when a loud blast ripped through the car and killed the bomber and the policeman by the exit gate. ”The bomber attempted to drive into the plaza in order to cause maximum damage and kill a lot of people. He however aroused the suspicion of a policeman who was nearby and the policeman prevented him from driving into the plaza and as he was driving away, he followed him but within a few seconds, the car exploded at the plaza’s exit gate killing the Policeman and the bomber.” he said
However, this story could not be ascertained as the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said he was not aware, but he noted that it would be investigated.
It was also reported that some commercial banks situated around the vicinity have agreed to provide CCTV footage of the incident to security agencies to assist them in their investigation of the blast.
