Probe Of Abuja Explosions To Extend Beyond Boko Haram by boman2014: 6:59am On Oct 05, 2015
Security agaents may be looking beyond the Boko Haram
sect in their investigation into weekend’s explosions in Kuje
and Nyanya in Abuja, The Nation learnt yesterday.

“It may be an opportunistic crime by people with other
motives. Boko Haram is not ruled out but nothing is also
ruled out. It’s investigation that can determine the true
situation and the investigation is in full swing,” a security
source said.

Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Abayomi Olonishakin, Secretary
to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal
and Chief of Staff to the President Abba Kyari led the
government team to the explosion site on Saturday.

Yesterday, security agents were still combing the Kuje site
for evidence. The place remained cordoned off. No
activities were allowed. Residents and pedestrians were still
shocked. No fewer than 20 people died from the explosions.
The 41 injured are being treated in hospitals.

Vehicles coming into the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
were being thoroughly searched. Security operatives at
checkpoints within the city especially those along the
Airport road


involved in the battle against terrorism in our country,
rather it should reinvigorate their fighting spirit and be seen
by government as a challenge to arm our forces with more
sophisticated and superior weapons both for intelligence
gathering and combat.

“Beyond these, we urge our government to order the
immediate reinvestigation, arrest and prosecution of all
those previously indicted of sponsoring terror gangs,
especially Boko Haram and other such violent groups in
any part of the country.

“The freedom of those who sponsor deadly violence put the
entire country seated on timed bombs that can explode at
will. No matter how highly placed, whoever have been
indicted should immediately be apprehended and
reinvestigated now.

“We urge all Nigerians to see the battle against terrorism as
our collective battle and therefore every resident must
make information about suspicious movements or
behaviours in and around them available to relevant
security agencies who must act on such information in our
collective national interests.

“We condole with the families of all the victims of these
attacks and urge government to ensure provision of the
best medical attention and treatment for the injured.”
To the NLC, bombings “obviously by decimated terrorists”
are a call for communal vigilance by all residents. “It has
become obvious that since the massive pounding of the
sanctuaries of the terrorists, fragments of the terror cliques
may have organised smaller cells in communities hitherto
thought not to be vulnerable.


“These latest attacks are particularly dangerous as they
were carried out at night and in locations where late
purchases are made. One of the locations, Kuje, is on the
route to our major international airport,” the NLC said.

The same president who singlehandedly disengaged the maitatsine uprising, and braggged about it with promises to melt out same treatment to boko haram if elected has suddenly lost his scheming voice. Now there's a difference between Bokoharam and Maitatsine. Let it sink deep into his dust filled cranium.

useless lairs, so now it's now an opportunist crime by people, even after the so called boko haram released images of the bombers.

Re: Probe Of Abuja Explosions To Extend Beyond Boko Haram by Nobody: 7:31am On Oct 05, 2015
I love that. The probe must extend to social media, to include those defending the controversial prophet of doom 'Okoro' and his cohorts on NL

The funniest thing about the western media outlets is that, they will still blame the poor boy, Chima Okoro after seeing the news where bokoharam claimed responsibility. They will continue witch hunting the poor boy basically because he is from the east. I just don't understand the high level of hatred in the minds of these people knowing fully well that igbos will and never be connected with suicide bombing.
Re: Probe Of Abuja Explosions To Extend Beyond Boko Haram by ERockson: 8:30am On Oct 05, 2015
Some bigot will not like this bombing invsetigated at all and that is why they are manipulating claiming responsibility by the Boko haram.
Let security do its work and I believe Okoro will be vindicated if he's pure. The attempted cover up and manipulation will put a lot of peoplle into problem even here in NL

In essence to avoid collateral damage Nnamdi Kanu and others threatening Nigeria might end up as scapegoats of Boko Haram while the trye perpetrators go unpunished. Igbos were scapegoat of 1966 and we should therefore strive to avoid misguided utterances that will cause repeat of history. Let the guilty be punished for their sins.

Really I won't be surprised they've commenced a search for the dude that predicted the bombings.
Re: Probe Of Abuja Explosions To Extend Beyond Boko Haram by Nobody: 10:02am On Oct 05, 2015
Who told all these sensless nigerian fools that the so fake-named okoro is an Igbo guy?
It is called false flag and the north is only trying to divert attention and to use the opporturnity to commit official genocide against the Igbos.

Surely, buhari will hit the rock and run into disaster that will split Nigeria.
