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.

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
