Funny how people like Sanusi and co will always survive this kind of attack and saddens how innocent citizens mostly die in the attacks.
Still trying to understand the tricks behind it. Am afraid i may not gat the tricks cos nigeria is full of polytricks in which only the actors involved can understand.

If Sanusi was the target why didn't they go straight to were he was?,
I suspect foul play so that we won't point finger to Mallam as having anything to do with BH.

sanusi wasnt the target, an attack even took place a day before sanusi enter maiduguri and the day (friday) he entered. bombblast and attack arent news in maid, so to make it a news, sanusi's name was added.

if u read carefully, the target was the JTF patrol, no where near sanusi convoy.

if the headline was explosion in maid, many people wont bother to read it.

Re: Explosion In Maiduguri As Sanusi Visits by Wsdm: 5:59am On Feb 16, 2013
This may just be a ploy by the JTF to send signal to the government that boko boys have not ceasefire. May be since the boys announced their ceasefire, trust the government, they have not been sending "egunje" as usual to the soldiers as before hence the need to covertly put the government on alert.
