Suicide Bomber Gunned Down In Maiduguri by Nobody: 4:35am On Aug 16, 2011 |
A suicider bomber was gunned down by vigilant policemen when he attempted to blow up the police HQ in the state. •The corpse of the suspected suicide bomber lying beside the car he rode into the Borno State Police Headquarters yesterday. Inset are Improvised Explosive Device (IED) materials found in the car. Photo: Sun News Publishing A deadly explosion was yesterday averted by the police in Borno when a 25-year-old suicide bomber with heavily wired Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) was gunned down by policemen at the entrance of the state headquarters of the police in Maiduguri. The bomber had defiled attempts to check his Honda Accord car at the command’s gate yesterday afternoon and had driven into the premises, knocking down policemen at the gate. Police authority said the unusual speed with which the bomber drove into the headquarters and his refusal to stop for check and search at the gate drew the attention of some policemen around as they opened fire on him. Unexpectedly, the car hit a tree and halted immediately while policemen rushed to check the occupant. They were shocked to discover that the driver who defied checks at the sentry was a suicide bomber on a deadly mission. They also discovered that the car painted in ash colour with registration number AP 851 ABJ was loaded with improvised explosives and 50 litres of petrol, a 28kg of raw acid, six gas cylinders and other devices well wired up to the steering head. Borno State Police Commissioner, Mr. Simeon Midenda who briefed journalists on the incident said the command had received text messages ostensibly authored by the Boko Haram, threatening to disrupt the ongoing recruitment exercise of cadet policemen at the state headquarters. “As a result of the already tight security around the police headquarters and other police formations in the state, a man aged about 25 years gatecrashed into the police headquarters in a Honda Accord saloon car with registration number AP 851 ABJ, knocking down policemen at the gate and headed towards the main building,” Midenda disclosed. He said the scenario alerted the policemen on guard at the gate as they immediately opened fire on the suicide bomber, sensing he might run into the building for a deadly purpose. Items found in the car include six gas cylinders weighing 13.6kg (each with its wiring), one air conditioner gas cylinder and two 25litre jerry can of petrol, one tin of ABRO can of 5litre volume and one acid orange 28kg drum, all wired together and terminated at the steering with a small remote. Midenda attributed the success recorded to God and the prayers of concerned citizens of the state, noting that the people had been praying for restoration of peace and end to the Boko Haram problem. He said investigation had commenced into the incident even as he urged members of the public to cooperate with security agencies in fighting terrorism. He also enjoined them not to panic but asked the people to continue their normal businesses. http://www.gbooza.com/group/crime/forum/topics/suicide-bomber-gunned-down-as-police-foil-bombing-in-borno#axzz1V4Eu3qZk

Suicide Bomber? For real? |

I am not saying this is not true, but motorists are not even allowed near the gate of the police headquaters. You can only park at the other side of the road even if you want to go into the HQ. |

That dead gentleman has achieved his objective. He was obviously fed up with the forced segregation of genders in his fundamentalist society, and having given up on the notion of meeting a real-life girl with whom to freely share carnal knowledge as is done in normal countries, he decided to hurry things up by killing a few infidels in order to qualify for the services of 70 reserved virgins in heaven. To the untrained eye, the above picture shows worthless dead dog meat, ready to kick into a hole, but to those brought up dreaming and drooling over the Taliban promise of 70 imaginary virgins wating impatiently in the Great Beyond, that bloodied corpse is actually engaged in wanton sex with virgin hos, and having the time of his life, or maybe the time of his death. All told, a good time was evidently had by all. Praise the Lord ! |

Abeg somebody should tell me this is not true. Sui. . . . gini?!! Shebi the abuja own was ruled not to be a suicide attack after it was first reported as suicide attack. It is now obvious that the abuja story was doctored to keep the country calm. |

Nigeria police should stop given us false story, they have kill innocent nigeria, there is no place on earth again where one will drive down to the police headquaters gate, after the abuja issues, no car is allowed close to the police headquaters again so where on earth would the man gain access to the gate, it simply means the man was allowed in by the police on gate, who must have checked the car and asked what his job is around. Let me conclude, the man is having a job to do for them and only God knows if its a an to kill him and create a record, keep my word in no time the family of this man will show and the story will have a turn around which is usual in nigeria. May God help us all |
