Now do we graciously and benevolently confer responsibility on Boko Haram?

I served in Ekiti and know the area fairly well - serene and quiet. Where did this perdition sip in from?

FG's weakness and incompetence is breeding ground for all manner of lawlessness. When will someone in FG stand up and do something?

Hopeless, clueless and misguided, less-than idiots, instead of bombing the politicians and seats of power that is breeding miseries across the land, they are bombing shanties and mud houses. The other day it was an eyesore of a viewing centre, today it's an INEC office that's so far away from any constipated politician. Are they so rich that they waste so much money buying/building bombings only to explode same in shanties inhabited by rats?
Re: INEC Office In Ikole LGA Of Ekiti Bombed by BIGERBOY1: 11:21am On Dec 13, 2011
How much is a packet/mudu/carton of bomb sef? Instead of harassing the masses with fuel subsidy, can't the govt remove the subsidy on bomb or tax it or increase the tariff?

On a serious note the lawlessness in this country is getting our of hand under the so called anointed good luck, I think no one will argue if we change his name to bad luck.
Re: INEC Office In Ikole LGA Of Ekiti Bombed by nduchucks: 11:24am On Dec 13, 2011
It is becoming more and more likely that the inability of the current government to arrest these violent acts and bombings will embolden the perpetrators to detonate an instrument within the vicinity of NASS's.  This act which one hopes never takes place, may be the needed encouragement which will enable the government to treat these terrorist acts with the utmost urgency it deserves.

This marks the launching of Ekiti-Haram.  shocked

I expect people like Ekt_Bear and Ileke Bebe-idi to come and spin this to their advantage. Chances are, they will find the involvement of a 'Mallam'. asé ijogbon Boko Haram ti awon ara Ekiti wa lo si Sokoto, inu Sokoto lo wa!! (na him be say, the Boko Haram folks which Ekiti people went to Sokoto to locate, are actually inside their very own pockets.   cheesy

Bombs, dynamite, etc are now more popular than pure water. Poor people are used by the rich against the poor. And the exploitation goes on.

Ekiti bomb blast: OPC rules out Boko Haram

The Oodua Peoples Congress OPC, on Tuesday ruled out the possibility of the Boko Haram sect being involved in Monday’s bomb blast at the INEC office in Ekiti.

Founder of the OPC, Dr Federick Faseun, disclosed this in Lagos. According to him, “Nigeria should not put every episode of violence on the laps of the Boko Haram. I won’t subscribe to Boko Haram being responsible for the Ekiti bombing’’.

He said that security operatives must find and fish out those responsible for the dastardly act, otherwise, the nation would continue to look at Boko Haram, while other people take advantage to commit crimes.

INEC office in Ikole Ekiti was on Monday bombed by unidentified persons. The bombing came just two days after the INEC conducted a re-run election to fill the vacant seat of the Ekiti Central Federal Constituency II, which was won by the Action Congress of Nigeria , ACN, candidate, Oyetunde Ojo.

The INEC Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Taiwo Gbadegesin, whose office was razed in the explosion, said that no life was lost in the incident.

However, Police spokesman of Ekiti State, Mohammed Jimoh, said that explosive experts had been deployed to investigate the incident and its cause.

It will be recalled that the OPC last Thursday carried out a massive protest in Lagos against the activities of the Boko Haram sect and the poor security situation in Nigeria.

Faseun, however, said that the OPC was ready to take up the security of the South-West, if security operatives continued to exhibit incompetence in tackling crime. (NAN)
