General Buhari’s Convoy Targeted By Second Kaduna Bomb Blast

A source close to former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has told SaharaReporters that a second bomb explosion that rocked the Kawo bus station in Kaduna today appeared to have targeted Mr. Buhari’s convoy. Three aides and security personnel traveling with Mr. Buhari to Daura, his hometown, have been confirmed injured in the afternoon blast.

 A source close to former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has told SaharaReporters that a second bomb explosion that rocked the Kawo bus station in Kaduna today appeared to have targeted Mr. Buhari’s convoy. Three aides and security personnel traveling with Mr. Buhari to Daura, his hometown, have been confirmed injured in the afternoon blast. 
Our source said that the bombers had trailed Mr. Buhari’s convoy and detonated the bomb as the convoy neared a bridge in Kawo.
Our source said the retired General was in good condition, even though he was shaken up by the trauma of the attack.
“Three of General Buhari’s aides were injured this afternoon in the explosion at Kawo,” said the source. He disclosed that the injuries were not life- threatening.
An earlier bomb explosion in Kaduna claimed more than 20 lives.
Our source stated that scores of people were killed in the second bomb blast near a bridge in Kawo. He added that numerous people, including a security aide to Mr. Buhari and two others in the ex-general’s convoy, sustained varying degrees of injury.
The source disclosed that the Kawo bus stop explosion happened as Mr. Buhari’s convoy was passing through the area. He said the ex-head of state, who is a top official of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as a staunch critic of President Goodluck Jonathan, was returning from a funeral in Zaria at the time of the explosion.
On Monday, Mr. Buhari had issued a statement accusing President Jonathan of pushing Nigeria to the edge of a precipice. He blamed the president for a spate of impeachments of political office holders who oppose Mr. Jonathan. In his response, Mr. Jonathan told the former military ruler to focus on mending the internal rifts plaguing the opposition APC.
At least 25 were confirmed dead after a bomb detonated earlier near Alkali Road in Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna State. A security source told SaharaReporters that the first bomb blast was targeted at a popular Islamic cleric, Dahiru Bauchi, who was delivering a Ramadan lecture at Murtala Square to Muslims observing Ramadan Tafsir.
No group has claimed responsibility for the two high-profile attacks, but a security operative in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, said the explosions were likely the handiwork of the extremist Islamist group, Boko Haram.

Below is what he wrote:

"You were a woman of principle, straightforward, strong willed and determined. You were the symbol of hope. When I look through your eyes little did I know that the end has come. Death is inevitable but no man desires death at the time it comes. I am consoled by the fact that you are now translated from this sinful environment to a better place where the lord has made for the righteous men of your kind. Farewell my desire. Rest in the bosom of the lord till we meet on the lord’s appointed time."

21-Year-Old Student Commits Suicide Over Heartbreak

The deceased, Effiong Otu

According to one of the family members, who gave her name as Ann, Effiong was found hanging in his room at Diamond Hill. She said the deceased, who was no longer himself following the breakup, went to their neighbour and collected a rope, which he further used in carrying out the sacrilegious act.
Ann said that neighbours, however, became suspicious immediately after Effiong entered his room with the rope as they wondered what he wanted to use it for.
She said Effiong’s mother, Grace Otu, works as a nurse at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, adding that Effiong’s father had died some years back.
“The 10th of July was the 10th anniversary of his father’s death in a car accident and after the anniversary and everyone had left the house including his mother, he went to a neighbour and borrowed a rope which he took to his room and hung himself,” Ann said.

"The neighbours became suspicious of what he was doing in his room with the rope and decided to rush there but found the door to the room locked and before they could force the door open he had died,” she added.
The source further revealed that before Effiong took his life, he called his friend, Adu on phone requesting him to tell his girl friend, Blessing who works with the UNICEM that "she should now be happy that he has killed himself for her".
“Before his friend could rush to the house, the door had already been forced open by neighbours and Effiong’s body was hanging from the ceiling of the house” Ann said.
She said the deceased, who was the only son of the family, was named after his late father as a source of succour for the family but “he has again left us by this thoughtless action”.

She also disclosed that on 6th of July, 2014, Effiong posted the following message on his Facebook timeline:
"It’s not about being engaged, married or in a relationship. It’s about being happy, safe, secured, relieved and feeling good. It’s about peaceful state of mind, it’s about sleeping at night without the fear of losing what you’ve got. It’s being yourself and not someone else, it’s about feeling loved, happy, respected, understood, cared for and appreciated.! Goodnight my beautiful people!!"
Efforts to reach the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, Hogan Bassey, proved abortive because his mobile phone was switched off.
Meanwhile, family members said Effiong’s corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, Calabar.

An inscription on the wall of one the rooms at the crime scene read: "This is the fate of prostitution".

Gunmen kill 25 women in Baghdad prostitution raid

Gunmen killed 25 women and wounded at least eight people Saturday when they stormed two buildings in a residential Baghdad compound reputedly used for prostitution, police and government sources said.

“Twenty-five women were killed and eight people wounded, among them four men, when gunmen stormed two buildings in a residential compound in Zayouna in east Baghdad,” an interior ministry official told AFP.

A senior police officer, who said the attackers used silenced weapons, gave the same death toll but reported 11 wounded.

“Unidentified gunmen stormed building number 43 in Zayouna, killing 10 women and wounding five. They also stormed building number 44, where they killed 15 women and wounded six men,” a police colonel said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

An AFP correspondent on the scene said police cordoned off the area while eyewitnesses also said several people were arrested in the aftermath of the killings.

“This is the fate of any prostitution,” read a inscription on the door of the one of the raided buildings.

Residents said the street’s sole access point was manned by police and soldiers.

It was not immediately clear who the killers were but similar raids killed 12 people in May 2013 and three women two months later in the same mainly Shiite neighbourhood of the Iraqi capital.

Shiite militias have become more active on the streets of Baghdad since Sunni militants led by jihadist fighters took over large swathes of eastern and northern Iraq a month ago.

ASUP Strike suspended after 10 months; Polytechnics to resume Tuesday

The Academic Staff union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has suspended its 10-month-old strike.

The strike, which started in October 2013, was suspended on Saturday morning at the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the union held in Abuja.


The National Publicity Secretary of ASUP, Clement Chirman, confirmed the suspension of the strike to a source.

He said all striking lecturers have been directed to resume work on Tuesday.

The ASUP NEC meeting was held two days after the leadership of the union held a ‘fruitful’ meeting with the new Education Minister, Ibrahim Shekarau, who was sworn in by President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday.

The ASUP NEC consists of all chapter (polytechnic) chairmen of the union and the national executive of the body.

Nigeria police uncover plot to bomb Abuja again

The Nigeria Police Force say it has “credible intelligence reports” indicating a plot to carry out attacks on the Abuja transport sector by insurgents believed to be the terrorist Boko Haram group.



“The attacks which are intended to cause panic amongst Abuja residents and visitors alike are planned to be perpetrated through suicide bombings, or through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in luggage, bags, cans, and other receptacles, ” Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said in a statement on Saturday.

Mr. Mba, an assistant commissioner of police, said the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory and his colleagues in adjoining states to beef up security at major parks around Abuja and its environs.

The police urged the general public, “particularly those within and outside the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to be roundly vigilant and report any suspicious persons, objects, movements or activities to the Security Forces without delay”.

Motor parks operators were also strongly advised to discourage overnight parking of vehicles at motor parks, particularly by unknown persons while also urging park workers to reduce congestion at the parks “by disallowing the indiscriminate parking of private cars, tricycles and motorcycles at the precincts of motor parks”.

The Police High Command advised the “general public in other places outside the motor parks should also monitor their environments as the terrorists may likely shift attention having known that their plots have been uncovered” while also assuring citizens not to panic as “security forces are working round the clock to neutralize and effectively deal with the threat”.

The nation’s capital has been hit by insurgents in recent times with the most recent being the explosion at a Banex plaza shopping complex in the Wuse district of the city, which left at least 21 people dead and 52 others injured.

POLICE UNCOVER PLANS TO ATTACK ABUJA TRANSPORT SERVICE, IGP ORDERS INTENSIVE SURVEILLANCE

Credible intelligence reports at the disposal of the Nigeria Police indicate that terrorists have perfected plot to carry out attacks on the Abuja transport sector. The attacks which are intended to cause panic amongst Abuja residents and visitors alike are planned to be perpetrated through suicide bombings, or through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in luggage, bags, cans, and other receptacles. The Police High Command therefore, while ordering FCT Commissioner of Police in particular and other CPs in adjoining States to beef-up security at major parks around Abuja and its environs, enjoins the general public, particularly those within and outside the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to be roundly vigilant and report any suspicious persons, objects, movements or activities to the Security Forces without delay.

Meanwhile, the Police Authorities enjoin citizens not to panic as the Security Forces are working round the clock to neutralize and effectively deal with the threat.

As part of additional efforts at forestalling the attacks and strengthening security around the transport sector, the Police High Command has called on the management of Motor-parks to ensure that travelers and workers’ safety comes first. It charges them to constantly conduct regular and routine scanning of their environments while insisting on carrying out a thorough search on passengers and their bags as well as vehicles entering and leaving their parks.

It also advises that such searches must have the active participation of the passengers involved and warns that any item or luggage unaccompanied by any passenger must be rejected outright and should not be allowed into the vehicle.

Passengers are also enjoined to be on the lookout for any passenger, who might come in with luggage but will attempt to disembark without such luggage.

While operators of motor parks are strongly advised to discourage overnight parking of vehicles at motor parks, particularly by unknown persons, the Police authorities further advise motor park workers to reduce congestion at the parks by disallowing the indiscriminate parking of private cars, tricycles and motorcycles at the precincts of motor parks.

In addition the Police High Command advises that the general public in other places outside the motor parks should also monitor their environments as the terrorists may likely shift attention having known that their plots have been uncovered.
