HOURS after rejecting a peace package from the Federal Government, the leadership of the radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram, is intensifying its campaign to make the country ungovernable through bombings. A day to the country's 51st independence anniversary, it has offered to give each volunteer N10 million but with a condition: the bombing must be successful.

Expectedly, the suicide bomber will die during the attack but members of his family, who he had earlier given their names to the leadership before the attack, would enjoy the largesse.

They would be paid through a popular bank (name withheld) and so far, 38 fundamentalists have volunteered to carry out various attacks.

Leaflets entitled “Top secret for committed Muslim brothers and sisters” containing the N10 million offer were widely circulated in Warri, Delta State yesterday, causing panic.

Some of the leaflets were also circulated in Anambra and Rivers states.

They were signed by a top Islamic activist.

It was also gathered that the ground plot to carry out a jihad had been planned since February.

A cleric, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, declared that Christians in the oil-rich city are living in fear and praying for the plans to be averted.

He said that materials for the bombing would pass through some neighbouring countries to Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi and Plateau to Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He declared that 650 fundamentalists are still undergoing training in Eritrea and Somalia on the use of explosives while another set of 850 have purportedly returned from Yemen and Somalia.

The leaflet reads: “We are fighting a jihad, a religious war of protecting Islam. It is our belief that before the end of this year 2011, we shall conquer Abuja, and the other Northern and Middle Belt States of Nigeria which we shall Islamise”.

From Abuja, the volunteers would move to other states where some of them have been sent to study the Christendom and strategise on how to infiltrate the Niger Delta region.

The development is already causing tension among some churches in the South-East and South-South because the threat contained in the leaflet revealed that leaders of targetted churches have blasphemed Allah.

The churches listed to be bombed are 10. A parish of one of them was attacked recently in Abuja.

Also, about nine clergymen are listed as targets.

This is madness.

Many nairalanders may fall for the offer.

Since they have collected money and signed death warrant in exchange for their lives, any one caught should be eliminated.

Are you sure they collected the money?. Can't the Nigerian govt trace these people's accounts?.
