We’ll Bomb Eagle Square Again On Oct 1 –mend by ASANIGBO(m): 6:30am On Sep 29, 2011
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has announced plans to bomb the Eagle Square, Abuja again on the nation’s 51st anniversary on Saturday. MEND issued the threat in a press statement released yesterday by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo.

The terse three-paragraph statement said Nigerians had nothing to celebrate after 51 years of independence. MEND advised the public to take the release as the first and final warning before the detonation of the explosive devices.

The statement dated September 28 reads: “On October 1, 2011, The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) intends to place bombs within and in the immediate vicinity of Eagle Square, venue for the proposed 2011 independence anniversary celebrations.
“After fifty one years of independence, Nigerians still have nothing to celebrate.

“The general public is strongly advised to consider this as a first and final warning. No additional warnings will be issued subsequent to deployment or detonation of these devices which will be novel in nature.” MEND had a few days to the 50th anniversary of the nation last year similarly warned that several explosive devices had been successfully planted in and around the Eagle Square by its operatives.

It made real its threat when two cars exploded outside the justice ministry near the Eagle Square, while President Goodluck Jonathan was inspecting parade by the military. The incident, resulted in the death of at least 10 persons, while 36 others, including 11 policemen were seriously injured.

The blasts completely destroyed six cars, damaged 18 others and shattered the glasses of a hotel in the vicinity.
MEND leader, Henry Okah was arrested in South Africa and is currently facing trial in connection with the 2010 Abuja blasts.

I hate this fuccking Boko Haram. Though, i think what they are doing is a blessing that can end this contraptions called Nigeria. Very sad how things is going in the country.
I feel very bad seeing potential youths wasted.

So, where are you running from to? Since you are planning to run away.
