[size=14pt]Bomb blasts: SSS takes suspects to court[/size] Saturday, October 09, 2010 [size=14pt][b]The State Security Service (SSS) yesterday took three of the suspects behind the October 1 bomb blasts in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) before a magistrate’s court in Wuse, Zone 6, Abuja. The security source, who confirmed the development to Saturday Sun, said it was done to seek the court’s approval to remand the suspects in SSS custody, while investigations continue. Asked if the Director General of the Ibrahim Babangida Campaign Organisation, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, was among those arraigned, the source said no. He revealed that Dokpesi was granted the privilege of reporting to the SSS office from home. “You are a free man until proved guilty. The three we took to court are linked to the blasts and we need the court to grant us the appeal for them to remain in custody while investigations continue and it was granted,” said the source. The SSS said, during the week, that nine suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the bomb blasts that almost marred the country’s golden jubilee celebrations, which claimed lives and several others injured.[/b][/size] The SSS spokeswoman, Mrs. Marilyn Ogar, told newsmen: “So far, nine arrests have been made and all have direct links with Henry Okah, the incident and some unscrupulous prominent elements in the society. Due to ongoing investigations, the names of the suspects and their sponsors cannot be disclosed at this stage.” On the number of casualties recorded so far, Mrs. Ogar said eight security officers died and one civilian, who was the sachet water seller at the bomb blasts scene. Ogar had denounced the insinuation that security agencies were not prepared for the bomb blasts, stressing that it was the preparedness of the security agencies that led to the low death toll. She noted that most of those who died and/or sustained injuries were security officers, adding: “ I won’t subscribe to the fact that we were not prepared. “As far as I am concerned, the security measures were effective. Imagine a situation whereby the bombs were planted at the Eagle Square. What would have happened to that large crowd at the venue? “I refuse to believe that the security measures put in place were not effective. They were very effective and that is why security operatives died to protect innocent Nigerians.” http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/newsonthehour/2010/oct/09/newsbreak-09-10-2010-001.htm |

[size=14pt]SSS Gets Court Order To Remand Bomb Suspect[/size] Saturday, 09 October 2010 [size=14pt]Nigeria’s secret service will hold four suspects in last week’s car bomb attacks for a further two weeks for questioning in an investigation which has ratcheted up tensions ahead of presidential elections next year. According to Reuter, the State Security Service (SSS) won a court order allowing it to hold on to the four suspects, whom it did not identify, while it probes the attacks near an independence day parade in the capital Abuja last week,[/size] which killed at least 10 people. “The four suspects should be remanded in the custody of the State Security Service for two weeks for further investigation,” Chief Magistrate Oyeyeola Oyewumi told a court in Abuja. The bombs have brought regional rivalries in Africa’s most populous nation to the top of the political agenda ahead of what was already set to be the most fiercely contested presidential race since the end of military rule a decade ago. President Goodluck Jonathan is fighting for the ruling party’s nomination, but his bid is contentious because of an unwritten agreement that power should rotate between the North and South every two terms. The Abuja bombs were claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the main rebel group in Jonathan’s southern home region. MEND’s claim was an embarrassment to Jonathan, who helped broker an amnesty in the oil-producing region last year. He said the blasts had nothing to do with the Niger Delta and MEND’s name had been used as a cover. The secret service declined to comment on whether the four suspects being held in Nigeria were Okah’s associates. “Investigations continue. We can’t give you their names now because we don’t want other suspects who are not in our net to run,” an SSS official said, asking not to be named. http://www.tribune.com.ng/sat/index.php/news/2221-sss-gets-court-order-to-remand-bomb-suspect.html |

What some Nigerians don't understand is that when the President said MEND had nothing to do with IBB (Independence Bomb Blasts), he meant that what MEND stands for is contrary to what the perpatrators of the blasts are/were trying to achieve with the blasts. If Okah is linked to the blasts, he is not representing MEND or the Niger Delta on this deed but rather his selfish and criminal interest while using MEND as a cover. |

We all know the true perpetrators of that dastardly act but my SSS officials will go for someone that has already been sentenced to death. |

It's really you guys that don't understand, you said M.E.N.D doesn't stand for what happened at the bomb blast and yet M.E.N.D have repeatedly used scary tactics in the various kidnapping and explosion in the niger-delta, M.E.N.D is a terrorist group and it's so unfortunate that some of you people stand behind their logic. JONATHAN was so quick to remove M.E.N.D from the list of suspects but he forgot that these people are not contented with the way his administration is ruling nigeria. 4 THOSE OF YOU STILL BEING FOOLED, GET A CLUE! |

The clear issue is that the present FG under Jonathan was trying to exclude Henry Okah in the scheme of things.Nothing more.He struck to show his capabilities but the FG is just trying to dig up any possible connection with northern and south south opposition. |

There is a report which says the average IQ of Nigerians is 65(mental retardation is below 70). This is true because if a rogue that supplied guns to Ijaw/Itsekiri and niger delta conflagaration and is obviously broke with the end of militancy in the Delta is offered 100 million dollars from a desperate politician who foolishly absented himself as a former head of state and gives a foolish reason that the programme was extravagant(4 days later) to give as excuse for not coming. - We believe his words and claim Goodluck is partisan and tribalistic. Nigerians are truly dumb, for Mussolini, Hitler or stalin to come back in their democracies to contest will not have been considered in those countries but in our motherland, He is not just a contestant but a frontrunner. SHAME ON YOU NIGERIANS, YOU ARE ALL COWARDS, AND HUNGRY ONES AT IT. IBB AND OKAH ARE ALMOST BEING TURNED HEROES AS YOU BELIEVE THE WORDS OF HUNGRY,BRIBED JOURNALISTS STOKING YOUR RETARDED EMOTIONS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH NIGERIANS, CAN'T THEY THINK? A COUNTRY DESERVES THE LEADERSHIP IT GETS NIGERIA- THE COUNTRY OF RETARDS. |

If Okah is linked to the blasts, he is not representing MEND or the Niger Delta on this deed but rather his selfish and criminal interest while using MEND as a cover. Thank you,Mr.Pingu. for the clarifications.You see, some Nigerians like Ciroma, are not only very perochial, but mischievious and criminal.The President out of his understanding made a tacit comment on the Unfortunate blast,He was not wrong to say that people have now siezed the MEND apperatus to commit heinuous crime,like the one we all experienced on 1 oct. If you all recall,there was atime last month,when a group of so called militant payed a visit to the babangida campaign in Abuja,nobody is asking what was promised these hodlums if they could help secure support for them.There are alot to this problem,if we must be frank. I think the president was right.He is just being quoted out of contest.It shows the level of those who are aspiring to lead us and their illicit and stupid ways of analysing issues to satisfy their evil intentions. I wish my fellow country men and women to open their eyes,please don't be decieved. |

uwaifiokun: In as much as the bomb blast events differ from the agreed amnesty process, GEJ has no business making utterances that definitely exonerate MEND. He should have qualified his statement. Was he at any time a member of MEND? Does he know the number of factions in MEND? This should even open his eyes to see that there is more to MEND than the lot that embraced the amnesty. Secondly, Jomo Gbomo has been the custodian of MEND's email address and password since pre-amnesty and post amnesty. Thus a faction of MEND still exists. The motive and intent unarguably may (or may not) have been sponsored by a frustrated few from anywhere in the globe; but i reiterate that investigations and interrogations must commence from whoever has been associated with MEND in the past to ensure there is no mole and obtain information that may lead to the identifying who the new MEND protagonists may be, which may also lead to the arrest of their sponsors if any. Trained intelligence specialists must be allowed to carry out adept investigations that will lead to prosecution of those responsible for this dastardly act. |

On this you are on the right track.Out of total dissapproval of the act by these bastards,the President made that comment but again,it shows that whoever okah and his cohorts claims to be representing, when the people of the niger delta are trying to pick up their pieces and move on,considering all they went through at a time,are just the bunch of criminals and terrorists who are trying to hide behind the same group MEND to pursue their selfish end.Isn't it glaring from the bomb blasts?? Thank you Mr.realborn. |
