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 attacks in Kaduna.
In the attack, no fewer than 39 Nigerians lost their lives, while 37 others were injured.
Former Head of State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, General Mohammadu Buhari, and respected Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, were suspected to be the targets of the attackers.
Both Buhari and Bauchi, however, escaped unhurt.
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 Special Anti-Robbery Squad, DCP Dan Mallam of the Monitoring Unit and DCP Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi of the Interpol Unit and others.
A statement on Friday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said based on the orders of Abubakar, security has been tightened in all states of the federation, particularly in the states perceived to be more vulnerable to terror attacks.
While appealing to all Nigerians, particularly Kaduna State residents to remain calm, Abubakar on the citizens to cooperate with the security agencies by providing them with relevant information to solve crimes.
