Breaking News: Gombe Bomb Blast Kills 8 And Not 30 -BBC by Aksonman: 1:25pm On Oct 31, 2014 |
In as much as the death of ONE innocent life is a painful loss, we must not encourage this trend by a section of the media on inflating casualty figures in order to cause tension and panic in the land while further discrediting our presidency. There was a blast in Gombe this morning and about eight people may have died but a section of our media quickly proclaimed that over 30 people have been killed, and expectedly the social media ran with this false report. Here's (surprisingly) BBC's version of the story. I said surprisingly cos on a good day,the BBC would have claimed that 100 people had been killed. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29849629 At least eight people have died in an explosion at a major bus station in Gombe state in north-eastern Nigeria, witnesses have told the BBC. |

somadienah: what's your problem and how does your comment relate with OP's topic header? Were you one of those 'rejoicing' and abusing the President when you heard over 30 people had been killed in Gombe or are you now sad that the casualty figures has been reduced downwards? 1 Like |

At OP, this is just a sign of the crazy political times we live in. |
