The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has instituted a high-powered investigation team made up of seasoned investigators to unearth the perpetrators of the recent bomb attack in Kaduna.
The team of investigators, which is expected to work in close collaboration with other security agencies, is headed by the Commissioner of Police in charge of Legal Department, DCP Nwodibo Ekechukwu.
Other members of the team include: DCP Chris Ezike of the Federal SARS, DCP Dan Mallam of the Monitoring Unit and DCP Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi of the Interpol Unit and others.
39 people reportedly lost their lives while 37 others got injured. Former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari and a respected Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi narrowly escaped unhurt.
Meanwhile, on the orders of the IGP, security has been tightened in all states of the federation, particularly in the states perceived to be more vulnerable to terror attacks.
The IGP has appealed to all Nigerians, particularly Kaduna residents, to remain calm and cooperate with the security agencies by providing them with relevant information to solve the crime.
