A powerful blast suspected to be from an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, has rocked a political meeting in Potiskum Town of Yobe state.

The explosion occurred in front of the residence of a local politician, Sabo Garbu, in Kandahar area of the town.

A resident of Potiskum, Adamu Mohammed, informed PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Garbu, a former member of the House of Representatives, was holding a meeting with his associates when the bomb blast occurred.

“The house was full with PDP members holding meeting there. It just happened and it’s not far away from our house,” he said.

Mr. Mohammed said those who survived the blast ran away from the area in fear of second blast, and so it’s difficult to know the extent of damage or casualty.

Mr. Mohammed also said another suspected IED was sighted in the GSM market in Potiskum.

“Police bomb squad are already in the market trying to defuse the bomb found there when the blast in our area occurred,” Mr. Mohammed said.

The GSM market was the scene of a bomb blast last month that killed six people and injured many others.
Yobe is one of the states most affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.

May God help us. Adequate security measures should be taken into cognisance before any political meeting or campaign this time please.

All is well by God's grace.

Intolerant cattle rearers with certificateless Buhari as their main sponsor

They should bomb the thieves and leave innocent lives alone




The bible says whatsoever a man sow so he shall reap!!!

*singing*
Oya baby shoki....oh shoki........

RIP

PDP, giving power to the people since 1999AD.

Too bad… hope nobody died oo…










Oya let the blame game begin

Na wah oooo... Let us pray for Nigeria oooo

Too bad Nigeria is fast degenerating to this!

BUT CHECKOUT THIS COPIED COMMENT FROM A FELLOW NAIRALANDER.

"APC has been consistent in saying that PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway.

But watch out some of the APC chieftains saying this now their positions within the "16 disastrous years":

1. Rotimi Amaechi – 8 years speaker under PDP, and 7 years Governor under PDP = 15 years in PDP.

2. Atiku Abubakar – 8 years Vice president under PDP.

3. George Akume – 8 years Governor under PDP.

4. Bukola Saraki – 8 years Governor, and 2 years, Senator under PDP = 10 years.

5. Timipre Sylver – 4 years Governor under PDP.

6. Audu Ogbe – 2 years Chairmanship of the PDP.

7. Aminu Masari – 4 years as the Speaker, House of Representatives under PDP.

8. Chris Ngige – 3 years Governor under PDP.

9. Rabiu Kwankwaso – 7 years Governor under PDP, and 3 years Defense minister under PDP= 10 years.

10. El Rufai – 4 years FCT Minister under PDP, and 2 years BPE chairman under PDP = 6 years.

11. And to cap it all, Obasanjo is the navigator of the APC, a man who spent 8 of the disastrous 16 years as the maximum ruler of Nigeria.

It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the 16 disastrous years and now dumped. So where is the change coming from? Are they now saints overnight because they joined APC?

Please be WISE and VOTE against the ASSOCIATION OF PAST CRIMINALS (APC ).

MY QUESTIONS REMAINS-WHO IS GOING TO CHANGE NIGERIA ? The people or the party?''

And who and who say we should support febuhari?

Let the blame game start.......
