We Were Not Target Of motor Park Bombing – Kano igbo Leaders

The leadership of Igbo Community Association, Kano yesterday afternoon declared that the Igbo speaking group was not the target of March 19th motor park bombing over which lives and properties were lost in Sabon Gari area of Kano state.

“We want to use this opportunity to say that the incident was not targeted at any particular ethnic group as the casualty cut across all tribes of Nigeria. Victims include Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, ethnic nationalities from North central, and South South geo-political zones”, Chief Chi Nwogu, President, Kano chapter of Igbo Community Association declared.

Addressing reporters in Kano, Chief Chi Nwogu who spoke on behalf of Igbo federating states said that the figures jointly collated by the leadership of Luxury bus Union revealed that a total of 37 persons died during the blast while 75 other sustained injuries.

“We mandated the leadership of the luxurious bus park to carefully collate the data of the affected victims. Casualty figures now indicate that thirty seven persons died in the explosion, while 75 sustained various degrees of injuries”, Chief Nwogu said.

The Igbo leader disowned and regretted misleading reports earlier dished out to the public that tend to pitch them against their host in Kano, stressing that “the mischievous information was not from a credible source” and therefore enjoined the Igbos to continue to live peacefully with other non natives in their domain.

Chief Nwogu said that “there was clever attempt by disgruntle elements who take interest in making inflammatory statements and publications capable of inciting us against our host government. The reckless statement sent inciting signals to our kith and kins at home and in diaspora because of misrepresentation of facts about the attack”

The President of the ICA warned that “lives must not be used for politicking and as such, we must strive to be objective in our judgment and comments on delicate matters like this one. We also appeal to our people at home to remain calm and avoid any act that would aggravate the already tensed situation.”

This is sickening

Is‎​ this for real or it's the spirit of cowardice taking control??

this man is a fool. tell us, what has kano state government has promised to do for u or how much hav they paid into ur account.

I like this. At least Igbos calming their fellow Igbos down for the loss of their kit and kins rather than live on self denial that nothing happened to your pple. Instead of condemning the dastardly act, some tribes hereare blaming their dead for being in Kano as if Kano is not part of Nigeria they fought so fraudulently hard to keep together. If they look for u in Kano and they don't find u, they will come to where u cluster like bees, in ur homeland.

Truth is bitter! Where are the keyboard soldiers that have been calling for war?

the peeps up north understand that the boko haram situation spares no one.being you igbo,Hausa,Yoruba,Muslim,Christian or whatever you are.only this uncivilized nitwits that has not cross their village borders that are turning themselves to authority on the situation they know nothing about.and spewing gibberish it a igbo thing or a christian thing.i don't know c-4's do ask people of their tribes or religion before tearing one into piece.it's high time we see boko haram crisis as a Nigerian problem.and stop all this tribal and religious divide thing.

@egghead, for once in ur life, u made half sense, I am impressed.

The man is a complete fool.I expected him to condem the action strongly instead of coming out to sound as if ghana must go is in his house before making useless statement like this.

dude the hypocrisy of you and your comrades in stupidity knows no bound.ain't y'all nitwits the one saying your brothers should come and establish whatever business they doing up north in the east that life is more precious than whatever money they making in the north.double speaking runs in the DNA of mo.ronic simpletons like you turncoats.and again you wanna start the ethnic shyte again.we will be ready to give you and your fellow subhumans the adekunle treatment.

The TRUTH is that even if Igbos were the target, it didn't succeed because several ethnic group were affected, some even more than Igbos. Even the list released by the Kano state govt further confirms this fact.

Definitely, a Lagos bound bus from Kano, should be expected to contain passengers of various ethnic group.

Its not as if any ethnic group deserves to die but records have to be set straight. For instance, the yorubas pretend as if persons of their ethnic group were not affected. This sort of attitude can only be likened to the proverbial ostrich that buries its head in sand.

In addition, after the dust of the incident had settled, true casualty figures is beginning to emerge. The record on this report is 37 deaths and 75 injuries.

It would appear the initial baseless and bogus figures published by the press were WRONG. Unfortunately, when incidents like this happens, the Nigerian press compete with one another over which will quote the biggest casuality figures. Even figures from official quarters such is the police or red cross is jettisoned for SPECULATIVE eyewitness/nosewitness figures. I still cannot fathom how how an eyewitness/nosewitness is able to distinguish between the injured and the dead. In Medicine and science, it is only after you'v gone close to a person and examined (touched) the person that you can say whether the person is DEAD or not. I guess the casuality figures from the 9/11 attacks was not gotten by eyewitness/nosewitness account.

So many SILLY things happen in Nigeria and many of us are culpable.

Then don't whine about pple who want to defend themselves by themselves since u r already protected by ur ancestors. Is the recently dead Awolowos son among them? Because I know he will be more current with happenstances in the world as he briefs ur league of ancestors. Wish them victory. SMH at such a mind, what an egghead.

No doubt the bomb blast cut across the 3 major tribes in Nig.But my question goes these way: 1.whose tribe record the highest casualties? 2. Who ar the main target? 3. Whose properties were bn destroyed? 4. Why mst it b motor park...why not mosque?.Let me use this opportunity to remind that FOOL that Madalla bomb blast also cut across all tribe and religion,because it also affect moslem okada rider,but the target were christian in that church.UN Building Bomb blast also cut across all tribe n religion but d target were UN staff n their property.Same to sabongarri motor park bomb blast,but d target were d Southerner more especially d South Easterner.

‎​Ɣε̲̣̣̣̥S̶̲̥̅ d BH is a nigerian problem but in a state where 80% r hausas what r d odds of 'aving such a high number of southern casualties?when BH bomb churches & areas in sabon-gari(majority southerners) d hausa victims r more/less collateral damage!!........P.S. I served & leaved in Borno state

This man is a fool, the core northerners & muslims who lost their lives in that attack were collateral damages, these boko haram things have always attacked churches and non-muslims. He's either a coward or acting because of some contents in ghana must go in his house.

High time ya eye are open... Good development at a start to fight for presidency knowing fully ur trick to Biafra state is not possible.

I tend to feel if Hausas', Yorubas', SS and other tribes are not affected with the way Igbo's loud assault on their people? Now u know Nigeria can't separate, it better to start making things right to get the presidential seat.

@egghead, I won't even tow that line with u. Is it a crime to wish u and ur ancestors goodluck as they defend u? A whole tribe bringing curse to themselves. Remember the first commandment. Also remember to trust only in the Lord and let the dead rest in peace. SMH at such a head, nothing but an egghead.

This dumbstar eggheader remains the most embarrassed and brutalized personality on nairaland. He never wins any back and forth. smh.
We continue to morn our loss with the other tribe that have found it best to mourn with us and ignore theirs. We condemn the bombing, whoever are the victims.

and therefore enjoined the Igbos to continue to live peacefully with other non natives in their domain.

Hmmm! So Ibos are living in peace in the north

No wonder they are in Peace

Ibos and cowardice. . . .well,they inherited it from their grand-daddy.


Just like the way Oju-iku ran way in the heat of the war.

clearly that attack was meant for yoruba people.. they tried to kill yoruba people.

you want to relocate all officers back to where they come from. from the police to the army , civil defence , custom service and others
