I thought the militants are well paid. What concerns them with Calabar - Itu bridge? If they are aggrieved they should go crazy in Rivers/Bayelsa States.

State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gabriel Achong

By Okon Bassey in Uyo

At attempt by aggrieved militants to blow up the major bridge that links Akwa Ibom and Cross River States has been foiled by security operatives in Akwa Ibom State.


The bridge links Itu and Odukpani local government areas of Akwa Ibom and Cross River State respectively and is popularly called Calabar-Itu Head Bridge. shocked shocked shocked


Three suspects have been arrested and items recovered from them included six super power 90 explosives, five blasting laps, three rolls of detonating cords, one bundle of extra detonating cord, and one Honda Accord 1997 model.


Those arrested in connection with the planned bombing of the bridge were Boronyefa Olorogun alias General Bofa from Rivers State; Samuel Coleman Yaw, a Ghanaian resident in Bakassi LGA of Cross River State, and Monday Anthony of Ikang village still in Bakassi LGA. embarassed embarassed


The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gabriel Achong, who paraded the suspects at the State Police Headquarters, Ikot Akpan-abia, said the arrest was made possible through intelligence report received on plans by the aggrieved militants to blow up the bridge.


Describing the incident as an attempted terrorist attack, the Police Commissioner revealed that on September 20, the State Police Command received information that a group of aggrieved militants planned to blow up the Calabar/Itu bridge.


According to him, upon thorough and intensive surveillance, on October 5, two suspects were arrested after being trailed from Odukpani, Cross River State axis to the Calabar-Itu bridge while the mastermind escaped.


Achong explained that for three weeks a combined team of the Army, Police and SSS had maintained surveillance on the bridge until the suspects were arrested when coming to finally plant the explosive.


"he mastermind, Boronyefa Olorogun alias General Bofa escaped but after a thorough and rigorous search by combined team of Police and Directorate of State Service (DSS), the suspect was traced and arrested in Yanagoa, Beyelsa state on October 17,” he said. shocked shocked shocked


Stressing the need for members of the public to volunteer useful information on crime prevention and detection in the society, the State Police Boss said without the information earlier given to security operative it would have been another thing if the militants had succeeded in blowing up the bridge.

Imagine this are the real terrorists they are the brethren of Charles Okah and co.

Suppose they are Muslims they the headline will be that Boko Haram kingpins and Commanders were arrested and all sort of nonsense will be said about them.

As a true northerner I demand that they are giving life jail term the same way Kabir Sokoto was given. And they should be quized as to the where about of those explosives.

And that my submissions is that they are the one doing all this rubbish in the North. As uptil this moment no suspect was caught red handed with this types of explosives including those in illegal detention in the name of allegations labelled against them.

Uptil the day Kabiru Sokoto was prosecuted he denied any involvement in the bombing at Madalla church.

May God help us in our country .

Jonathan has created the impression that terrorism is what you require to have a large chunk of national cake by negotiating with terrorists I won't be surprised if 3 more terror groups start destroying lives .After all I think those people in Niger Delta have started blowing up things and resumed kidnapping as at yesterday's news

Meanwhile somebody is in Israel praying for Nigeria mtcheeewww

It is another boko haram franchise in this case unfortunately. This is no militant affair, no one seem to be from Akwa-Ibom. If it has succeeded AKPABIO would have made it all about the next presidential elections and a lot of people from northern nigeria would have been roasted for the action of someone from bayelsa.

he sounds like a BOKO HARAM SUPPORTER but you sound for confuse than him by point out the religion they affiliate, does that now means those caught doing that due to their own affilated religion too?
