A man has been arrested in connection with Wednesday's bombing in Kaduna after he was caught wearing a disguise of female attire.

The development was disclosed by Nigeria's defence headquarters via a press statement on its website. The statement reads:

Troops are holding a man suspected to be connected with the explosion targeted at General Buhari on Wednesday. The young man who was apprehended by military patrol team that swooped on the area immediately after the explosion, had disguised as a woman clad in female garb to exude femininity with a brazier affixed to his chest.

The suspect was arrested while trying to fizzle into a crowd of onlookers when the patrol team arrived the scene. Youths in the area attempted to mob him while he was being arrested but were restrained by troops who quickly whisked him away in an armoured personnel carrier.

He is currently being interrogated by security agencies in a bid to ascertain his links

Two explosions occurred in Kaduna on July 23 with the first targeted at a popular Islamic cleric,Dahiru Bauchi and the second targeted at former military ruler, Mohammadu Buhari.
