Hotel Explosion: 15 Persons Injured As Gunmen Invade A Hotel In Gombe

No fewer than 15 people were injured in an explosion that occurred at a hotel located on the outskirts of Gombe township in northeastern Nigeria .

The manager of the hotel, Mr Ojiego Nelson,told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gombe on Thursday that three persons came to the hotel at about 10.13 PM on Wednesday to explode a device.

Nelson said that he was at the gate of the hotel when the men, who were carrying guns, started “manhandling” the security man and when he asked what was happening, they started shooting sporadically.

``Our customers and everybody started running helter-skelter and the one with two gas cylinders in his hands threw them into our reception area." ``He threw one into the reception and threw the other one under the cars parked by our guests in the hotel. The one thrown into the reception exploded and damaged the building, so we just managed to escape through the back fence,'' he said.

The manager said that as soon as the incident happened, all the customers vacated their rooms in the hotel and left. He said the incident was immediately reported to the Divisional Police Officer in Tumfure, Mr Hassan Bappa, who came to the scene with his men. Bappa later claimed he deployed his men to the scene of the incident when the matter was reported to him, but that it was unfortunate that the gun men had escaped before police arrived. Bappa said that there was no fatalities and nothing was stolen from the hotel. ``We are waiting for bomb experts to come and remove the relics at the scene of the incident,” he said.

He said there was no arrest made so far but investigations were continuing.

From church they will go to hotels, markets, business and then killing anything in sight. Dividing this country is the way to go because some people just deliberately wants to cause havoc in this country.  angry

This story sef. . . Why did they just manhandle the security guys when they should have pumped some bullets into them? Did they just throw the explosives and watch the customers run all over the place? What's really their motif? Robbery? Kidnap? Terrorism? Assasination? Hmm. . .
Re: Hotel Explosion: 15 Persons Injured As Gunmen Invade A Hotel In Gombe by ProfSule(m): 6:03pm On Dec 29, 2011
Gentlemen! Listen! There is no such thing as 'Boko Haram' it has been dead 4 so long, a body is behind all these crises happening in naija and that body cud be the Americans or sum pple in our govt, so we should stop blaming ourselves for things that are being done by the foreigners rather we should think of a way to fight nd chase them out. We will not allow what happend to libya to also happen to us, we are smart

thanks bro,

Nigeria a failed state cool cool cool

too many blood spill, a dangerous place to live, isn't it about time to ask for freedom? or are we still waiting for the worst to come?cos is coming,more attacks on innocent life's and Christians. or else we sit and discuss how we going to live together in peace, with this Muslims it going to be difficult,referendum is the answer of our sufferings from this people.

Muslims ideology is bad, they never like Christians even b4 boko haram started bombing we were seen as none believers, that is why they want to hold onto power  in Nigeria so that infidels will be under their control,

Naija - all talk, a whole lot of bullsh.it and no action - Boko-Haram can step out and kill 1,000 igbos everyday and all that will happen is 1,000 igbos will come to nairaland and talk trash all day long. GEJ has been talking bullsh.it all year long, southern politicians and citizens have been talking bullsh.it all year long. The only people keeping silent are the Northern Governors and Political Leadership and the only people taking action is Boko-Haram angry lipsrsealed

@AK47,
   Thank you you understand a little. I just feel sad when Jonathan is being poked at. Islam uphold her follower more than any other people. Funny, all religion does. But Mohammed commanded his follower to maim, kill, destroy, enslaved all others. that is the difference between Islam and all other religion. No tolerance for others. If you become closer to Allah in ISLAM, U will need to hate all others and destroy them. Kill people in hotel, those attending parties, anyone not islam. Islam is only Good where no other exist. And they will help one another.
Re: Hotel Explosion: 15 Persons Injured As Gunmen Invade A Hotel In Gombe by Mayflowa(m): 7:14pm On Dec 29, 2011
Boko harem is a just fight if you are a true moslim. The Qur'an supported this in Q5.37. If I was a true blind follower of Allah and islam, I would do same. Bombed out all non-believer. This is why southern moslim is useless to Northern moslim. They live equally with non-believers. Is a shame to them by northern fanatics. Dont blame this guys.
Re: Hotel Explosion: 15 Persons Injured As Gunmen Invade A Hotel In Gombe by ak47mann(m): 7:17pm On Dec 29, 2011
igbos are not talking trash,if we have our chance by now we will be in a different nation from this people.Nigerians wanted a prized catch in a Great Leader and failed. that is why till today we demand for Actualisation of the Sovereign State  cool cool

Re: Hotel Explosion: 15 Persons Injured As Gunmen Invade A Hotel In Gombe by Mayflowa(m): 7:27pm On Dec 29, 2011
That is why no Islamic leader or Government can say much to conderm these actions of Boko harem. Even before the advent of Boko Harem, Extreme Moslims have been known to behead Christians and non-Moslims. This was the teachings handed them by Mohammad, the messenger of their Allah. Please Allah is not God that we christian know to be merciful, loving and unforgiving to sinners, adolatry and adulterers. Allah asked that adulterers be killed instantly

Even in Saudi Arabia, non Muslims live in peace in the kingdom same in Qatar, Egypt, Malaysia, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and many. Tariq Aziz, Deputy to Saddam Hussein was am Christian. Religious problem in the North is of many dimensions,  major reason is the deliberate and criminal act of their leaders denying them education for too long, to enable them get information on first hand instead of "them say". yet they educate their own kids

You are lying out of your arse!

Non-Muslims do not have religious freedom in Saudi Arabia.

How many non-Muslims have you heard living in Qatar.

In Egypt you see Muslims fighting the Christian Copts.

Malaysia has seen it share of terrorism from Muslim extremist.

Kenya has suffered dearly under terrorist attacks from Muslim extremist from Somalia and Al-Qaeda. Remember the US embassy bombing in that region.

And there are not many Muslims in South Africa.
