And what can I say about my dear country that is been torn apart currently with people dying everyday in the northern part while others are still campaigning for power in the southern and the western part of this great country, I wonder by 2015 if there will be any left to vote! hmmmmm so pathetic that our leaders refuse to see that where are seriously sitting on a time bomb ready to explode.
Suspected Boko Haram insurgents, yesterday, intensified terrorist
activities, targeting two state capitals in the North-Eastern part of the
country with co-ordinated bomb explosions in Maiduguri,
Borno State
capital and gun attacks in Damaturu, Yobe
State capital.
More than 100 persons were feared dead in the attacks as several places,
including police formations, were burnt. Damaturu is 135 km west of Maiduguri.
Umar Sada, who lives in the Gujba
Road area of the city, said the latest raid
happened at about 4:45 a.m
In Damaturu, residents in the Gujba Road area of the city were jolted out of
bed by the sound of gunshots and explosions at about 4:45 am as many fled.
Sada said: “I was woken by huge blasts and the sound of heavy gunfire around
the Mobile Police barracks. The gunmen came in numbers. They burnt down the
Police barracks. They are now advancing towards two housing estates. We have
left our home. We are now in the bush. We don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Another local resident, a government official who asked not to be
identified, said: “It’s chaos all over the town. All I can hear are explosions
and gunfire from my house. I couldn’t go out for morning prayers because this
started before dawn and I’m afraid to leave in case I get caught up in it.”
