I'm still trying to figure out why Obj decided to pay the family a visit. Is he giving a tacit approval to the activities of Boko Haram? www.heal9ja..com |

Sad, whole issue gets murkier, but this can become a positive thing depending on who carried out the killing. It can cause division between the extremists if another faction did this and that can only be a good thing. |

umechuma and big 1 u guys are jst stupid fools. Why wont obj visit the family?. The killing of this spokesman guy shows that boko haram activities is no more about the religion or the sect but a plan by some notherners to distablish Goodluck jonathan's govt.

This Yusuf family has bougth into the deal presented to them by the master planner Obj and the family is about calling an all Yusuf faithful to lay down arms and embrace peace immediately the govt. Settles them because if u like it or not that Yusuf guy killing with out fair hearing is contrary to the law of the land and these useless boko haram jst cashed in on it and now the family wish ther wants the outside world to beleive ther are figthing for is about calling for a peace meeting and these politicians did not want it.or is about calling for a peace meeting and these politicians did not want it. |

Dear Nigerians, The Jihardists has declared a war. We can either understand this and start taking steps tp protect our selves and our children or "cross our fingers" and die without honour. Anybody who thinks they can negotiate with the radical Islamists should have his head examined. |

Associated Press Nigeria: Relative of slain sect leader killed By NJADVARA MUSA and JON GAMBRELL , 09.17.11, 12:21 PM EDT MAIDUGURI, Nigeria -- A relative of the slain leader of a radical Muslim sect in Nigeria was shot dead Saturday, only two days after taking part in peace talks led by a former president, police said. Babakura Fugu's killing comes as Nigeria's[b] weak [/b]central government struggles to stop attacks carried out by the feared sect. The group known locally as Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the Aug. 26 car bombing of the United Nations headquarters that killed 23 people. Article Contr REPRINT NEWSLETTER COMMENTS SHARE His death also raises concerns about who controls the sect, which has reported links to two other al-Qaida-affiliated terror groups in Africa, and whether its fighters want to negotiate an end to their increasingly bloody sectarian attacks. Boko Haram later claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message to the BBC's Hausa language radio service, a trusted source of news throughout Nigeria's north. The claim could not immediately be independently verified. A lone gunman approached Fugu near his home Saturday close to the site of Boko Haram's former main mosque in Maiduguri, a city in the far reaches of northeast Nigeria approaching the Sahara Desert. The gunman pulled a Kalashnikov rifle from inside the folds of his traditional robes and shot Fugu to death, Borno state police commissioner Simeone Midenda said.

The commissioner said no arrests have been made in the attack. Fugu is a relative of the late Boko Haram leader Mohammed Yusuf, who died in police custody following a 2009 sect riot and security crackdown that left 700 people dead. Fugu and other family members had spoken with former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday in a fledgling peace effort to stop the sect's attacks.

Obviously OBJ didn't make the visit on his own decision. This was one of the "great" solutions our eggheads at the Council of State came up with when they met about the security situation in Nigeria a couple of weeks ago. [size=14pt]I say all of them are foolish people[/size]. This is what happens when our leaders go from dumb to dumber each day. Let anybody that has an ear hear this is the beginning of a full war. I hope GEJ begins to lay down the battle line right away, but who am I kidding. Look at the way they described the FG under his command "Babakura Fugu's killing comes as [size=14pt]Nigeria's weak central government [/size] struggles to stop attacks carried out by the feared sect." Let nobody fool themselves, it is time for Nigeria to dissolve. junegirl: umechuma: |
