Honestly I don't give two about another spokesman getting caught. abu qaqa like jomo gbomo is probably just an alias that can be recycled |

Beaf:When others abuse people you hold in esteem, you suddenly start waxing lyrical about decency, moderation in language Instead of this insidious campaign, why don't you arrest Buhari if you have evidence I am now convinced that your brand of democracy is that nobody should contest against your man Are we going to see 99.9% of votes cast come 2015? |

BetaThings: Face your front and stop chatting shiit. You people are so petty and bitter. What if Abu qaqa turns out to be Buhari, wetin you go do? Hang yourself or what? Nobody told those grownups to threaten to make the nation ungovernable the way they did; they aint kids. I will not be surprised if Buhari, Atiku, Ciroma, Kaita, Tunde Bakare etc are boko haram members, sponsors or facilitators. They are all evangelists of violence and politics of bitterness; birds of the same feather flock together. |

Nigeria Secret Police: Sect Spokesman Arrested by The Associated Press text size AAA MAIDUGURI, Nigeria February 1, 2012, 03:04 pm ET MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — The purported spokesman for a radical Islamist sect responsible for hundreds of killings in recent weeks in Nigeria has been arrested, an official with the country's secret police said Wednesday. The official with Nigeria's State Security Service declined to give many details about the man known by the nom de guerre Abul-Qaqa, simply saying that officers are questioning him. If it is him, the spokesman's arrest could prove to be a boon for Nigeria's weak central government, which has remained unable to stop attacks by the sect known as Boko Haram. However, the same agency paraded a supposed spokesman only weeks earlier who apparently had only a loose affiliation with a group that has splintered and become even more dangerous. And a national spokeswoman tried to deny the reported arrest without being able to explain the apparent confusion gripping an agency charged with protecting the nation. Ahmed Abdullahi, the Borno state director for the secret police agency, told The Associated Press on Wednesday night that officers tracked down the man through signals sent out by his mobile phone. The agency later flew him to Nigeria's capital Abuja for further questioning. Abul-Qaqa served as the spokesman for the radical wing of the sect, often as a go-between between its leaders and trusted members of north Nigeria's media. He issued claims of responsibility typically the same day as attacks to journalists working for either the BBC's Hausa language service or The Daily Trust newspaper, the two most trusted sources of news in Nigeria's Muslim north. Abdullahi declined to give the man's name, and it wasn't clear whether he faced criminal charges or had legal representation. Reached Wednesday night, national secret police spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar denied the agency had arrested Abul-Qaqa, but was unable to explain why a top official with the agency would say otherwise. "We don't have him — at least I do not have information that we have him," Ogar said. The State Security Service, which has plainclothes investigators across Nigeria, is charged with securing the nation, However, it is an agency long associated with suppressing political dissent, rather than putting down the sectarian violence now being carried out by Boko Haram. In November, the secret police claimed it made a major breakthrough in stopping the sect by arresting Ali Sanda Umar Konduga, a supposed Boko Haram spokesman who used the name al-Zawahiri. Konduga implicated a Nigerian senator in taking part in the group. But Konduga, later sentenced to three years in prison, acknowledged he had not made a statement on behalf of Boko Haram for months and that the group had expelled him on suspicion he was a government spy. Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, is carrying out increasingly sophisticated and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Islamic law and avenge Muslim killings in Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people. The sect was blamed for at least 510 killings last year alone, according to an Associated Press count. This year, it is blamed for killing at least 270 people in January alone. On Jan. 20, the sect carried out a coordinated assault on police stations and government agencies in the northern city of Kano that killed 185. Boko Haram has splintered into three factions, with one wing increasingly willing to kill as it maintains contact with terrorist groups in North Africa and Somalia, diplomats and security sources say. With that wing viewing a wide variety of people and institutions as potential targets, even politicians with ties to Boko Haram can no longer consider themselves safe. Violence by Boko Haram has increasingly begun targeting Christians, inflaming longtime tensions in a nation largely divided into a Christian south and a Muslim north. Thousands have died in rioting sparked by ethnic and religious differences in the country since it became a democracy in 1999. On Wednesday, about 2,000 mourners gathered at a Catholic church near Abuja for a mass burial of victims of a Boko Haram bombing there that killed at least 44 people, church officials said. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=146219462 ^^^why this woman dey try confuse people again!!! abi they want to round up others first.@beaf i honestly think you are not being fair to this political opponents of GEJ.wetin dey do you.Your wish and hope everyday is to hear dey get in trouble.Even where that has not happened you keep attacking there person.Haba,you are logical in your approach and you know better than this petty bad blood reflex. |

Beaf:Petty? Bitter? over what? You are abusive and rude. Anybody who contests against your man automatically become an enemy of state Go an check history. Nobody ever personifies the state. That mistake is the classic symptom of pettiness Actually you are very very disappointed that try as you may Buhari has no link with BH. I am sure that your people have been praying, holding vigil etc that somehow a link between Buhari and BH will emerge That will not happen because that is not the sort of person he is. If there is any hanging to be done, it must be the lot of the disappointed to do so I am a Muslim. Alhamdu li Llah, Commiting suicide takes one to the hellfire because it cannot be repented Can you provide evidence that Buhari threatened to make this country ungovernable? If you are truthful, provide the evidence We remember how you assured us that Dokpesi would go to jail. Is he no longer a bomber now that he supports your man? And what about Elder Edwin Clark who threatened that if Jonathan did not become president, hell would be let loose You have forgotten? or violence and carnage allowed for your people I don't condone violence (so I challenge you once again) or stealing by anyone. we now know that Jonathan swilled N1.7tr last year for the neighbour to neighbour campain http://247ureports.com/2012/01/oil-subsidy-what-president-jonathan-knew-about-the-n1-76trillion-payment/ We also know that Dame Patience case with EFCC might be buried, but God will unearth eventually As for being petty, you remember this? Of course not, you don't understand it BetaThings: |

Re: News Flash:abu Qaqa,boko Haram Spokesman Arrested by Beaf: 10:01pm On Feb 01, 2012 |
@BetaThings Dude, calm down. You are sounding even more bitter than I imagined you were. Politics of bitterness makes fingers point. Seen? Straighten up, be mature, stop spreading falsehoods and wishing bad on Nigeria, just because you lost elections. Do that and see if anyone will continue to accuse your camp. Its simple as ABC. You people are dangerously bitter people who threatened to make the nation ungovernable, so I won't be surprised to find that boko haram facilitators swell your ranks. |
Re: News Flash:abu Qaqa,boko Haram Spokesman Arrested by BetaThings: 10:04pm On Feb 01, 2012 |
We are not being told the truth Konduga, a man who claimed to be a member of BH, was sentenced to three!!! (3) years in prison Yes, Kabiru Sokoto was arrested and escaped from custody! What about the person that was arrested with him? Where is he? What has that one said? “Kabiru Sokoto was in company of a serving military officer at the Borno State Liaison Office when he was captured in a joint operation by security agencies http://sundaytrust.com.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9030:police-capture-madalla-christmas-day-bomber&catid=54:lead-stories&Itemid=127 |

Arrest the messenger? Don't see how dat helps unless he had been unreachable and anonymous prior to arrest. How long before he escapes as usual? Talk about going round in circles. |

Re: News Flash:abu Qaqa,boko Haram Spokesman Arrested by BetaThings: 10:14pm On Feb 01, 2012 |
Beaf:Hahaha I should be mature! Coming from you, I can see that it is disservice to that state of mind! Falsehood? Dokpesi does not think so! Were your group given that opportunity, Nigeria would become a vast jail for saying anything against Jonathan I challenge you once again to bring that evidence against Buhari. Beaf, be a man, bring the evidence!!!! I have also demonstrated that though I have a dim of the capabilities of Jonathan, I will not call him names I even begged people not to abuse Jonathan Let us have one instance of such act on your part. So when you talk about bitterness and falsehood, you only need to review Beaf's posts They are laced with rancour, inveterate hatred and character assassination Pray to God for deliverance Shall we review the collected speeches of Elder Edwin Clark? We shall then see bitterness par excellence BTW where was he when President Jonathan and VP Sambo came to Delta state to campaign for Gov Uduaghan? |
