The Shehu of Borno and the state's deputy governor had a close shave with death on Friday as a suicide bomber detonated his bomb just meters from their exact location.
The incident happened around 2:15pm, immediately after Friday prayers at the mosque in front of the Shehu's palace. Olufamous.com gathered that a youth of about the age of 15 was noticed walking towards the two dignitaries with the intent of bombing them.
However, the suspicious manner in which he was approaching them immediately drew the attention of the security men guarding the Shehu who quickly tried to shield him. In the process, the bomb went off, killing at least 10 other people in the vicinity and critically wounding two soldiers.
JTF spokesman in the state, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa confirmed the incident but said only 5 people were killed and 6 others, including the two soldiers, wounded by the blast.
As at the time of filling in this report, Olufamous.com gathered that the area around the Shehu's palace has been cordoned off and more soldiers have been deployed to the scene.

ReplyDeleteWhy is the IG of Police trying to make a name from the Farouk Lawan case when he hasn't shown much zest about the killings around the country. Why the heavy deployment of troops to Edo State while he remains mute about Plateau State. Pls tell him to get his priority right... Nigerians are watching! (Pls re-broadcast)

ReplyDeleteOlu Nawa o. Now your caption says TERRORISTS, I'm sure you would write BOKO HARAM in capital letter and label them islamic terrorist group when you want to call them, but now they are just terrorists 'cos they bombed mosque... Nigerians and propaganda, God will deliver us all in this country, we are ourselves enemies. It is well
ReplyDeleteOlu this is not news ,it would have been better if they had succeeded killing the deputy governor.
ReplyDeleteThe deputy governor is a human like you and me who have body,spirit and soul.Why wishing him death?.what you supposed to do is to pray for the whole nation and that God's mercy will be shown on Nigeria as a whole even you included.May God bless and save Nigeria in distress Amen.

Think again!
Deletewen dis boko haram tin started dey were hapi, but now dey ar killin dere own pple.AU
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing bad calling Boko Haram Muslim terrorists, because they always refer to Allah as the one commission their assignment and whenever they made success they always praise Allah for helping them, and in this world there's no other people that worships Allah if not Muslim. Christians worships living and loving God. Now my question is who is this Allah that told these people to hate and kill others, because i know God is not wicked and never tell any one to hate or kill others no matter the reason you may place on it, God does not. then who is Allah? So if what they're doing is not in accordance with Islam, how many of you have ever come out in radio or television to challenge them that what they're doing is an abuse to Allah? so you people should stop trying to deceive people who is wiser than you are, So Boko Haram is a new riot system to be killing Christian without attracting retaliation from the south. so i advice you that are reading this msg to repent and serve the living God starting by becoming a Christian. that is, if you have an interest to go Heaven. but if you don't have, remain where you are.
ReplyDeleteOw are we sure dat it is not just a ploy 2 decieve us into believing dat they are after muslims 2,they av said it's d xtians dat they hunt, dis accursed descendants of d bond woman just used dat as a distraction, they are muslim terrorists as such d devil cannot be against himself. It is only a ploy, let us not be decieved
ReplyDeleteMay GOD help us all. I suggest we all pray 4 peace and unity of the nation coz as it is i tink dis country is headin 4 destruction and separation...
