The authorities of the Nigerian Army have confirmed that 50 people lost
their lives in two bomb explosions that rocked Damaturu, the Yobe State
capital, on Friday.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in a
statement on Friday that 43 persons died in the first explosion which
occurred at 7.40am and seven others in the second explosion.
Several other people were also said to have sustained varying degrees
of injuries from the two explosions.
It was learnt a teenage girl and an elderly woman carried out the two
attacks at the screening area for the Eid prayers in Damaturu.
The explosions occurred while the screening of intending worshippers
for the early morning prayers was taking place at Layin Geange and
‘Phase 1 ‘ in front of the former Yobe State Secretariat, in Damaturu.
Usman said the situation was under control.
One of the residents, Musa Yusuf, who also spoke to our correspondent
on the telephone, said, “There is apprehension in Damaturu as I am
talking to you. We are celebrating Sallah in fear with these explosions
this morning.
“It is hard to ascertain the number of casualties now but the military
and policemen are everywhere keeping watch in the town.”
Usman, who urged citizens to be calm and vigilant, said the Acting
Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and the Yobe State
Governor, Ibrahim Geidam, sympathised with the families of the victims
of the unfortunate incidents.
He said, “The situation is under control. Both Yobe State Governor and
the Chief of Army Staff sympathise with and urged the people to stay
calm and be security conscious.
“No amount of terrorist act will deter our resolve to stamp out terrorism
and insurgency.” www.punchng.com/news/twin-blasts-rock-damaturu-eid-prayer-ground/

BBC is sayin 9 u are saying 50... who is fooling who

Nemesis will catch up with the wicked ones

Religious Fanatism.

This bombings would continue to happen until you throw away the Bible and the Koran and face your society with the books you wrote by yourselves.

No society can succeed with the ideologies written by aliens who never has good intentions for you.

When I said that I write my own laws, it never meant that I disobey the society laws, it means that I chose how to obey them.

My ideologies could be very difficult and hard for you to swallow because I am not among the Rogue TV gods like Adeboye and TB Joshua but I can tell you that I love you more than those people.

How did South West had us over to this people again?
I had thought that by the time power returns to the north, which was going to happen someday, Nigeria would have proper been positioned to be managed by institutions and not politicians.

This people held this county down for decades, and until tomorrow, the money they stole are still being recovered from oversea. And we all know that it was because Abaca is dead.. What of IBB, Abdulsalam, Buhari, they are still alive.. Can someone tell me they didn't steal our money too, or do we have to wait until they die before the cowards begin to say something. Can someone tell the new APC spokesman alhaji Adamu Oshiomole that we are waiting for him to poi the his fingers properly.


But No, in a bid to flex muscles, Tinubu and his group swung the vote back to the North, hoping that the juicy appointments would be handed to them.

Well, so far, the North has given SW the powerful position of media aid to Adesina whose job is to support whatever Buhari does, whether he likes it or not.

This has gone out of hand.

Because you are all the same thing.
The difference between you and the Muslims are the two books.

Change your book from Bible to Koran and you will start to behave exactly like them.
Unfortunately for you, it all started when you were a kid.. So. It isn't fully your fault.

I am sure you will resort to personal abuse or attacks but then, since when did what you say start to happen?

North east burns

Pillaging, mass killing, rape, abduction, child soldering remain the order of the day

yet, Nigeria's 'messiah' is unconcerned and unbothered

As long as the carnage does not take place in Daura or Katsina

God is watching oh!

Baawaa:
Nemesis will catch up with the wicked ones

No nemesis will catch up with anybody until your government ban hijab.
