Forensic experts have successfully established the identities of two men that participated in the bombing of Nyanya car park, a satellite community bordering the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa State on April 14, 2014.
The experts identified their bodies using certain scientific variables, including body tissues, security sources said in Abuja, adding that the third suicide bomber, who managed to escape from the scene before the explosion has also been identified.
“The third terror suspect has also been positively identified and we are working to arrest him; but the identities of his two accomplices have been established through forensic analysis.
“Through the assistance of experts, we now know those who carried out the attack. Although two of them are dead, we are on the trail of the one who is alive.”
Police spokesman, Frank Mba however said he would speak on the issue “at the appropriate time,” adding that “As much as we want to give information to the public on the progress of the investigation, I won’t comment on it now because we don’t want to be distracted.”
Our correspondent however reports that 29 victims of the bomb blast are still receiving treatment at hospitals in the FCT while 30 others were discharged last Thursday from the National Hospital and the Maitama District Hospital, Abuja.
