The religious sect known as Boko Haram this evening in Bauchi State demonstrated the porousness of Nigerian security by carrying off an audacious prison break and freeing over 700 people being held in the federal prison there.

The prison is located in front of the palace of the  Emir of Bauchi. Eye witnesses told Saharareporters that the group struck at about the time Muslims, including the Emir, were breaking their fast.

The Emir quickly vacated his palace while soldiers and police were being drafted from the nearby city of Jos. The governor of the state, Isah Yuguda, is currently in Saudi Arabia in observance of Hajj.

This is the third time in three days that the sect, which began an uprising in Bauchi last year, would strike.

As Sahareporters reported yesterday, Boko Haram militants have also  killed district heads and a retired police officer in Maiduguri near the palace of the Shehu of Borno.

I guess they're right on time, a year is not complete in Nigeria without ethnic/religious problems.

And the Emir vacated. What happens to hundreds of innocent people who have no where to "vacate" to??

well, i doubt the Emir had a choice.

it's the normal procedure in such situations.

Well who could blame the Emir from leaving? When you are dealing with radicals, even fellow Muslims are not safe.
