The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a Chinese national in connection with the recent improvised explosive device (IED) explosion that occurred inside a CCTV camera dealer’s shop on Kodesho Street, Ikeja.
According to a counter insurgency reporter, Zagazola Makama, the detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, arrested the suspect, identified as Joe Gu, at about 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, at his residence located at No. A11, Bila Vista, Banana Island, Ikoyi.
“The arrest followed ongoing discreet investigations into the explosion incident, during which the complainant strongly suspected the Chinese national as the possible mastermind of the act,” the sources said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had a previous business relationship with the complainant, which turned sour in 2013 after a dispute.
“It was further gathered that during the fallout, the suspect allegedly threatened to disrupt the complainant’s business operations,” the sources added.
The sources said the suspect was currently in police custody as investigation continued to determine his level of involvement and possible motive.
The sources said the police assured the public that further developments on the case would be communicated in due course, and reiterated the command’s commitment to uncovering the circumstances surrounding the explosion.
