Explosion Rocks Yobe Assuicide Bomber Strikes by Obascoetubi: 1:27pm On Nov 03, 2014
A bomb attack has reportedly
occurred in Potiskum, Yobe
state.
Witnesses say a suicide
bomber targeting members of
the Shiite group, Islamic
Brotherhood of Nigeria,
detonated his explosive vest,
killing many instantly.
A resident of the town,
Adamu Mohammed, told
PREMIUM TIMES over the
telephone that nearly 20
persons were killed and
several others injured.
“My sister lost three of her
sons in the blast,” he said.
The bombing took place at
Faydia Islamic school, ran by
the Shiite. It is located near
the old market in Potiskum.
The bomber struck when
members of the Shiite were
gathering to go on a
procession to mark the
Ashura day
Ashura day is the tenth day
of the month of Muharram,
the new month of the Islamic
calendar.
Shiite Muslims commemorate
the day to mourn the death of
Hasain Bn Ali, the grand son
of Prophet Mohammed who
was reportedly killed on that
day.hen the bomber got into
their midst and detonated his
bomb.
Potiskum is the largest town
outside Damaturu, the Yobe
state capital.
Although, the town had
witnessed several bomb and
gun attacks from members of
the Boko Haram sect in the
past, it has recently enjoyed
relative peace.
That has now been punctured
by today’s bombing.
Efforts to speak with the
spokespersons of both the
Police and the Joint Task
Force, JTf, in the state were
unsuccessful.

This further confirms that our common enemy knows no religion. Boko Haram detest moderate muslims as much as they detest Christians, Western education and the entity called Nigeria. How well Mr President and his government recognize this will determine their effort at crushing Boko Haram once and for all.
I hear the weaponry taken from Mubi is enough for Boko Haram to pursue this war for at least 1 year.

Pls, let Mr Jona sit up or get out!!!!!!!!!!!!
