Dreaded Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram, has revealed that the telephone call made to the African Independent Television on Friday by a caller who claimed he was a Boko Haram spokesperson was not from them. According to Saharareporters, a source close to the sect said no one in the sect or any of its leadership initiated a call threatening to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours.
AIT had played a phone call in which an individual claiming to be a representative of the dreaded sect threatened to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours. The caller also requested that President Goodluck Jonathan unconditionally meet with them in Yobe State, without security, to discuss the terms of a ceasefire.
But Saharareporters say their source insisted the call was a prank pulled by individuals capitalizing on the hysteria created by Boko Haram's recent attacks in northern Nigeria.#
BELOW IS THE POST ON ALLEGED PLANS TO BOMB LAGOS AND ABUJA:
We Will Bomb Lagos & Abuja In 72 Hours -Boko Haram
We are swimming in dangerous waters in Nigeria and many of those living and doing business in the nation's Political and Commercial capitals - Abuja and Lagos - are in for some serious trouble as the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has threatened to destroy the two cities with bombs in 72 hours.
In a phone call to Africa Independent Television on Friday, they threatened to unleash bomb attacks in Lagos and Abuja unless President Goodluck Jonathan appears on AIT for an open discussion with them.
The phone call was broadcast on the AIT news at 8pm last night. According to someone who watched the news and posted his observations on Nairaland, the sect made some demands and promised to unleashed terror if the Jonathan Government does not comply:
(1) Goodluck Jonathan should act on the letter written to him by Boko Haram.
(2) Former Governor of Borno (Ali Modu Sheriff), former Minister of Police Affairs
and some PDP stalwarts in the North should be arrested and tried for terrorism.
(3) Government should create an open forum for dialogue at Abuja, open to the public.
(3) Government should create an open forum for dialogue at Abuja, open to the public.
They said they are ready to come to Abuja for dialogue provided it is an open one.
What do you think the President should do? Should he appear on AIT for open discussion with Boko Haram? Since they gave 72 hours for their demands to be met, what should be the right response from the Presidency to avert loss of lives and property?

ReplyDeleteGovernment dont need to negotiate with terrorist groups in any guise. Let them state their demands and it will be looked into by the government and the ones that are feasible will be treated.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous!something needs to be done and fast!
ReplyDeletePresident Jonathan knows what to do bcos he also want the bombings to stop so lets watch and see him do the right time.
ReplyDeleteAnabel Delta State
this is serious..
ReplyDeleteBrothers and sisters,I wished those who failed to listen to that said conversation were giving the opportunity to so.I mean that conversation scared a life out of those people who listened.In fact they sounded completely like ones who already have all it takes to bring down the two cities respectively.Like what I understood,they already have these explosives in the appropriate places. But one funny & interesting potion of their comment was that,they categorically said they are bombing because of PDP & GEJ. Please & please these people must be stopped with what ever it takes to do so,because they warned seriously.
DeleteDat would b their greatest mistake
ReplyDeletewe are waiting for them try and see

ReplyDeleteThings are happening in 9ja......will Mr President refuse to do so thereby putting lots of souls in d two cities to death?....or will Mr President do as they requested and save lives and property?....OH MY GOD,UNTO YOUR CARE WE NIGERIANS LOOK UNTO.
ReplyDeleteSo, This is a seriou matter, nd another chance for DIALOGUE.
ReplyDeleteWell, no matter what they plan against the innocent people, God will surely put them to shame in Jesus name. It is sure that 9ja is moving close to federalism.
