The Boko Haram suspect alleged to have masterminded the St. Theresa's day Christmas bombing is said to have escaped custody after policemen took him to his house at Abaji close to Abuja, to conduct a search.

According to a witness, trouble flared up when policemen from Abuja city brought the suspect in a Toyota Hilux van. A gang of youths flagged down the vehicle as it was heading for the Ona of Abaji’s Palace, creating a chaos during which the suspect escaped.

It has just been confirmed that Ibrahim Umar Abba (not Kabir
Sokoto as was previously reported) the Matser mind of the Christmas day bombing by Boko Haram of the .St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Madalla is a  Post Graduate student of the University of Birmingham in the UK.

It would be recalled that he was arrested at the Borno State Governor's lodge while planning to flee the country for the United Kingdom.

It may be recalled that this is not the first time that Nigerians or indeed young Muslims have been radicalized in England. It may be recalled that after the 911 attacks perpetrated by Al Qaeda, many young Muslims had become radicalized in London and all over the United Kingdom and had travelled to Afghanistan to help the Taleban fight against the U.S. led invasion.

It would also be recalled that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab began his studies at University College London in September 2005, where he studied Engineering and Business Finance. It was in London that he became radicalized by radical Islamic groups and organized a  lecture while he was president of the school's Islamic Society. The lecture was titled  Jihad v Terrorism and was billed as “a lecture on the Islamic position with respect to jihad".

Meanwhile, the Borno State has reacted to the arrest of the suspect at their State Governor's lodge.

In a statement issued Monday by the Secretary to the Government of Borno State, Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda, the state government said it was a case of security breach which it is now investigating.

He described as “untrue, misleading, callous” attempts by “some detractors to turn the truth on its head and to try to score political points with a very serious matter of individual and state security”.

Governor Kashim Shettima, he said, immediately ordered an investigation.

Jidda wrote: “On the evening of Thursday, January 5, one Ibrahim Umar Abba, an indigene of Borno State and a post-graduate student at the University of Birmingham in the UK, called the permanent secretary of the Borno State Liaison Office in Abuja.

“He said he was scheduled to catch a British Airways flight back to the UK the following day and would like to spend the night at the Governor’s Lodge in Abuja. The permanent secretary, who at the time was in Maiduguri, granted Ibrahim Abba Umar permission to spend the night at the lodge.

“When Ibrahim Umar Abba turned up at the lodge, he came with two other persons, one of them an Air Force officer, the other a civilian. Neither of them is known to His Excellency the Governor, or to any other official of the Borno State Government. It turned out that the security agencies were on the trail of one of the three men, later identified as Kabiru Sokoto. The security agents arrived at the lodge and arrested the three ‘guests’ as well as all the staff of the Governor’s Lodge.

“I will like to state emphatically that neither His Excellency Governor Kashim Shettima nor any other top official of the Borno State Government ever knew the said Kabiru Sokoto or the other two men. In fact, their surreptitious gaining of entry into the lodge where His Excellency often stays during his visits to Abuja is a very serious breach of security which has caused acute embarrassment to the state government.

“I will also like to remind the public that in the last one year alone, many leaders of the Borno State ANPP have been assassinated by suspected members of the Jama’atu ahlus Sunnah Lid’dawa’ti wal Jihad. They include the late Awagana Ali Ngala, then North-east Vice-Chairman of ANPP; Alhaji Modu Fannami Gubio, ANPP gubernatorial candidate Borno State; Honourable Mustafa Baale, Chairman of Jere Local Government; Fannami Ngranam, ANPP Chairman for Jere Local Government; Goni Modu Sheriff, Chairman of Ngala Local Government and many others.

“How therefore can the Borno State ANPP chapter and the state government that it controls possibly be in cahoots with or knowingly shelter a suspected member of the sect thought to be behind the cold blooded murder of so many of our leaders? The truth of the matter is that the incident was a major security breach by men who have the sinister intention to cause harm to His Excellency Governor Kashim Shettima, but for the providence of God. They have been plotting this for a long time and they succeeded in penetrating the Governor’s Lodge and spending a night there due to the sloppy breach of procedure by an innocent government official.”

Boko Haram= no western education
Yet, Boko Haram bomber is studying in the West, in London.
Abdul muttalab, the Detroit pant bomber also studied in London

What sort of hypocrisy is this?

Clearly, this is not just about religion (I have said this over and over), but about more about eliminating Jonathan using the killing of others (Christians and Igbos in particular) as the bait.

This man did not escape by himself. He was helped to do so. GEJ has said there are BH insiders in his govt. He better finds them fast before they consume him.

Yawns -

I know northern people dont want me to rule - but - I will show them i am real general and not a lion

Security was looking for Kabiru Sokoto and instead arrested a wrong person. Instead of admitting error, they turned him loos and attributed to escape. Incompetence leading incompetence!!

What a shame! GEJ was right afterall
