UPDATE : 17 dead, 27 injured in Yobe bus blast – Witnesses, rescuers A blast ripped through a bus in Potiskum, Yobe state, on Tuesday. The explosion happened at the Tashar Dan-Borno motor park, on the outskirts of the city but rescuers could not immediately determine the number of casualties. “The bus had just loaded with passengers on its way to Kano when a huge explosion happened inside the bus at exactly 11:40 am ” said a driver’s union official at the bus station. “We still don’t know how many people were affected. We are waiting for the fire to be put out before we can have a figure of casualty”, he added. However, other eyewitnesses reported that they saw up to 12 bodies being brought out of the burnt bus. “For now we have 13 dead and they have taken 17 others to hospital. The death toll may change,” said a drivers’ union official. The official and another driver both said the blast happened after a man put a bag in the boot of the bus and then tried to board the vehicle before he could go through a security check. Called to mind is the blast on Sunday, when a young girl with explosives strapped to her body blew up at a crowded market. Seven people were killed in the blast, which again underlined the severe security challenges facing Nigeria in the run-up to presidential and parliamentary elections on March 28. Waziri Danu, who lives in the area, said of the latest bombing: “I was at a car wash nearby when I heard a huge explosion and saw volleys of fire and smoke coming from the motor park.b”I and people around rushed to the place and we saw a bus engulfed in flames…. It is not likely if anyone in the vehicle has survived.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/blast-rips-through-a-bus-in-yobe/ 2 Likes 2 Shares |

doctokwus:You must be an APC supporter. The way you guys reason in your lust for power is beyond human comprehension. Why is it paining you that our military is whooping the ass of Boko haram? All you guys do and pray daily is for boko haram to continue to terrorize Nigerians in order to use it against Gej but God pass una.

[size=15pt]I just put myself in the scenario. I'm in a bus, thinking of what I'll do when I get to my destination. All of a sudden, I'm in another realm. The 'good' thing about bombs is that it happens so fast, just like a headshot. You will not know you're dead. RIP to the deceased. [/size] 25 Likes 1 Share |

doctokwus: Read all about unconventional warfare.....and then think again Essentially, Boko Haram is made up of a covert/unconventional arm and a conventional warfare arm. The unconventional warfare arm is essentially made up of several terror cells, which can be activated by a controller, and which can operate independently of the central group. Infact terror groups and guerrilla forces prefer the unconventional route to the conventional route....because when you fight conventionally, you lose lots of guys. When you fight unconventionally....you can spread terror everywhere....and lose relatively few people. That is why it took the US 10 years to get out of Iraq....because the forces resisting them immediately transitioned from a ''mass army'''into a series of cells...operating independently from each other. This is Al Qaeda's preferred tactic (and if you recall Boko is affiliated to and has received assistance and training from Al-Qaeda's North African branch. ). Infact, if YOU were the leader of a terror/rebel group....you would prefer to use the cells tactic than the open warfare tactic....because if you rely on the open warfare tactic too much....you will lose. To use a local example....Maitatsine were eradicated easily in the 1980's because they fought conventionally (and with bows and arrows) against a well armed with guns and MiG 21 jet fighter Nigerian Army. Boko on the other hand splits into cells....and launches the odd ''behind the enemy lines'' attack....something which the Biafran Army thought about during the Civil War....but at a point where it was too late to affect the outcome. 9 Likes |

quixotic: Amen in Jesus name. It was a grand plan to leave boko haram fight till this period so that they can claim since Nigeria is at war there can be no election. They wanted to use same propaganda during OBJ's third term agenda, when Nigeria was at war with Cameroon over Bakasi. Every tormentors of Nigeria shall roast by fire. In Jesus name. 6 Likes |

To be frank, any north-easterner that hasn't made up his/her mind to change Leadership for Security purposes especially, is a special f.ool If Security is in shambles, every other thing comes a far second. It's not about politics, it's about living up to duties under oath. 4 Likes 1 Share |
