TEARGAS Grenades -



Now this is John Akpabu's 'grenade...


What did they say it was again?!!

Funkymallam: Mr. John Akpbu is frm the same ethnic group with the minister of info.

His brother was a police officer who died some yrs ago, he got those materials: the three tear gas canister and live ammo when they went to clear the late brothers house in kaduna. For fear of being arrested if he try returning them to the police, he rather decided to take them to the radio house, with the intention of handing them over to his kingsman, Labaran Maku.

How the hell did the media and police renamed a tear gas canister to hand granade? Smh


They should free that man jor and they need to be sued for battery.

Another emerging story.

LAUGH WAN KILL ME! THIS IS THE GRANDEST OF ALL GRAND DECEPTIONS AND TO THINK THAT SOME NLERS DON BEGIN RAIN INSULTS N CURSES@THE SO-CALLED SUICIDE BOMBER. LISTEN TO THE GUY ALONE ON TAPE N U'L C ITS ARRANGEE. IDD! WHAT A DRAMA, SEEMS SOM1 IS GETTING REAL DESPERATE.

This poor action film tricks funny . . . .

hotwax:

Dullard man. Cant you see I am cracking a joke here. Next time somebody will tell us yorubas are part of boko-haram. Is this a yoruba man ?

lets face it. Boko is a PDP ventures to
1. spend money on security
2. Give Buhari and co bad names
3. Distract our attention from bad governance
4. Ensure Nigeria is not stable
5. Ensure the continuity of corruption

Reason:
If it is poor masses, he will blow them up. But when it comes to ministers/politicians, the suicide bomber cant blow them.
he failed ? how ? Because they are ministers/PDP.

They cant blow their people but poor masses.

FU PDP

. Guy. Are U on my mind? Infact, U re Michael Scofield!!!!!!!!

Shut up if u have nothing reasonable to say didn't BH claim responsibility 4 d attack? How many times have d real BH caught 4 trying bomb places? Their attacks r well coordinated and successful all this unsuccessful one are diversionary tactics to create the impression that its not an islamic problem. It doesn't matter the religion an act of violence should not b politicize .

nagoma:
Christians are fully involved in the bomb attacks around the country ,in the two different foiled attempts to bomb two churches in Bauchi all those caught red handed were Christians ,, 8 of them in one of the episodes. Christian women were arrested in the Mami market barracks bombing in Bauchi as well. In the case of gombe a mixed Muslim and xtian men were involved. In many cases were the evil bombers succeeded eg in the catholic church bombing in Jos and the madalla bombing no one can say whether the bombers were Christian or Muslim but the orchestration of he press and all was to point accusing fingers at Muslims and to blame all Muslims and only Muslims. The situation seems much more complicated than that. We pray for more revelations. And we want to know what is the meaning of all these machinations and conspiracy.

Mekky2010: The calculation is simple,,, the aim was not to bomb but to drag Christians into their mess John Akpabu is nothing but his Boko Haram mission name.. he was there to be caught and not to explode himself..we will learn later that his real name is Abdul Quar-el-Shit.. Nonsense

Denial state - for how long Christian BH?

Ike agwula m ooohh!!!.....
They arrested a suicide bomber with 'GRENADES!!'...why didn't he just remove the pin of @ least one?....or maybe he wasn't prepared to die..... Time shall tell...though....

Fornorth: I belive There is no god but Allah and prophet muhammed (S.A.W)is his ma

continue belivin monkey......na hell get u

If this was staged by the SSS,it was to discredit the sentiment(s) behind the BH's idea of winning strong solidarity from some gullible jihadists who will be willing to go suicidal with their lame course;the man's name is enough to make would-be BH members wonder and question the fact that the so called 'infidels,' who are supposed to be targets are now potential recruits,posing inconsistency. . . .someone is playing a mind game. Other possibility is that he probably picked the name from somewhere .

I simly say yes to that

A Bigot will always be a Bigot?

UPDATE ON ALLEGED TERRORIST CAUGHT WITH ‘GRENADES’ TODAY: SSS PROVIDE DETAILS, SAY ‘NOT FOUND WITH GRENADES’

Mrs Marilyn Ogar, spokesperson of the State Security Service has just provided an update on John Akpabu, the man who was apprehended earlier today with what had been initially reported as ‘grenades’ and 7.62mm rifle ammunition at the Radio House venue of a Ministerial Press Briefing.

Speaking on NTA News about fifteen minutes ago, Ogar stated that it was teargas canisters and NOT grenades which were found on the man. Beegeagle can confirm that the canisters shown on NTA News were indeed three silvery teargas canisters.

According to Ogar, the arrested man had gone to Bayelsa State to evacuate the belongings of his late brother, a policeman who died in service a few years ago.

Contained in his brother’s belongings were rifle ammunition and teargas canisters.

Wary of being apprehended, the man, an ethnic Eggon from Nasarawa State decided to head for the Radio House with the ‘prohibited material’ in the hope of personally handing them to the Minister of Information, who is himself also an ethnic Eggon.

The rest is the stuff of the drama which unfolded earlier on today.

From an ogbomosho man whose lineage or family name cannot be traced to John Akpanum Akalu.

Its either the federal govt, boko haram or some northern elements are trying to outplay each other in a new BH game.

However the arrest looks scripted by our security operatives or are they trying to make us believe they are now capable of foiling any BH attempt?
How come a supposedly BH operative having 3 cannisters of what look like teargas with bullets but no gun?

AIN'T WE MISSING SOMETHING HERE? GEJ SAID BH WILL CEASE TO EXIST BY JUNE.

SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT NEEDS ANSWERS BUT TIME WE TELL

Kudos to Nairalanders. We were able to dissect the story even before the truth actually came out. The truth is that the man was not a suicide bomber and is likely to be released tomorrow.

Fell in line with what he said to reporters ..

What baffled me was how antagonistic the reporters actually were towards him..

What a country.. No professionalism in any profession...

If CNN were to have been the ones interviewing him, they would have accorded him more respect..

Poor guy!

And the idiot reporters actually called teargas frags.. How funny..

Meanwhile, what was his brother doing with teargas and ammunitions..

This calls for investigation into how the Nigerian poice hand out arms and ammo in their custody to officers and if the officers account for the weapons in their custody.. If this guy didnt bring those items in, they would not have been missed by the police..

Merison oga, sorry medlyn orga says Akpabu was going to deliver three tear gas and some ordinary bulets to his town who hapen to be a minista 4 onward transmision to higher authority una come de para. You people think say na bh im be? Maybe his late broda was odechi haram and he wanted to expose him.

This looks like a plot to me. A number of things dont add up

1. This guy looks too well fed to be a suicide bomber (could be wrong though after all I've never met any of them)

2. Using grenades? BH has always used IED's

3. Knowing Nigerians, I was expecting that when I see the picture of this guy his face would be somewhat disfigured from the beating he would have received from the crowd.

4. How many of the arrested people have ever had the privilege of taking questions from journalists? I watched this guy taking questions from journalist on channels. You can see for yourself here: http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/05/21/man-caught-with-suspected-explosive-device-at-ministerial-briefing-in-abuja/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

5. Observe that in the video he even has a spectacle clipped to his shirt in a cool way

I really wonder. Something is fishy about this.

If only this man name was Audu Abubakar from Kano State

Chei!

You sure he didn't EAT the bombs?

abi o.

that's what I am saying!

So after all the accusations, counter accusations, and theorizing, it turns out he's a northern minority and not even a terrorist. lol

Things dey happen for naija. Such a well fed guy!

John Akpabu seems to b xtain o... Hmm nawa wo!!

This guy isn't a suicide bomber. Maybe the BH boys are demanding the release of someone held by the SSS & SSS simply want to show off someone else to cun BH. Probably a psychological game on Nigerians, or someguy who has heavily been paid to stage this show.
Why is he given this presidential parade with cameras etc. I thought suicide bombers should be treated like robbers and assassins?
How come the guy is not tense he looks like he is getting directions from the SSS guys as what to do.
Scam!

My greatest concern is the manner which the govt and security agencies choose not to act decisively against these acts of terrorism in Nigeria. When Kidnapping started to raise a head in the Niger delta, it was mainly seen in the oil industry, a move by some people to make quick money holding foreign nationals, and getting paid for their release. No move was made to curb this and punish offenders. Now kidnapping is almost everywhere and can happen at anytime and has become an easy method of reprisal or just for those aiming to extort some money from family or enemies.
Robbery, email scam, kidnapping, Bombing have not been given the punishment and actions they really should be given.
Mostly today you can see around public figures, who have made a name starting from one of these
crimes against Nigerians.
Lets watch this trend of glorifying suicide bombing, because its only going to make things worse in the future.
Here we see a parade of a suspected suicide bomber arrested with explosives and gadgets (confirmed intention to kill or commit anarchy), no anti-terrorist guns seen, no policemen with body armor guarding the suspect. His eye glasses still neatly hung to his shirt. Meanwhile the police in Nigeria will intercept a driver for mere wrong parking on the road and the first thing is to slap and beat the person. Who is fooling who here?
After this parade we will see not trial. I want to bet 5 million Naira on this.

If indeed dos tins belongd 2his l8 bro,a police officer,is he nt s'posd 2tak dem 2d police station,2his boss?y a radio station?n y d vry time we av ministers n poos thr @d tym?dnt wory NLers Abu Qaqa wil soon com 2tel us wat hapnd...lol

idupaul: Those are definitely not anti personnel grenades ... Looks more like stun or smoke grenades ...

whatever name u call its bros! One more man down. God is watching.

Onim's:

U no know police abi? He would've bailed himself with 10million naira had he gone to the police. Naija police aint ur friend and maybe his brother was into illegal stuffs and doesn't want to be dragged into it.

Indeed LORD HAVE MERCY
