Meanwhile, Gov. Aliyu of Niger State is claiming that the bombings are an attempt to criple the north's economy. El-Rufai keeps claiming that GEJ is responsible for BH - at first I thought this was some tongue-in-cheek statement, but he has repeated it so many times to show this is his real thinking.

What next?

The Boko Haram elements are trying to take over the Yobe State Government House In Damaturu This evening.

The Joint Task Force (JTF) Squad has repelled the Boko Haram attackers who were attacking the Yobe state capital, Damaturu.

The Islamic terror Group, trooped in large numbers, exploding bombs and shooting sporadically.

Eye witness report said that they were targeting to overrun the Governor’s residence, but the superior fire power of the JTF has destroyed most of them.

The capital is now getting calmer, as the JTF has taken over all the arreas now.

Casualty figure is still unknown.

this new is old as they have taken it over to the jot of the awusa people

uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. I wonder how d gov ll be hearing that he is abt been o'erthrowned.

bh is getting bolder and deadlier and believe me this attack was a dress reharsal of wht they intend to do ,from drive by shooting to suicide now attempting to take a goverment house in a state .this bh guys are preparing for a full scale war i believe they have their specially trained soldiers which are presently undergoing training in another country by noow and the next time they launch such an attack the jtf should expect stiffer and well cordinated attack.
