Sources said President Goodluck Jonathan had given a nod for the said leaders to be interrogated, while a security council had been set up to quiz the governor.


It was learnt that upon hints that the agencies had received the green light to prosecute the suspected sponsors of Boko Haram, many of the top politicians are making plans to flee the country, even in the heat of the fuel subsidy removal-induced strike.


The government was also said to be probing some suspicious movements across the Nigerian borders in the North with information indicating that some specific targets of the operation burst Boko Haram had fled the country.


A source said the governor, believed to have links with the group, had got wind of his impending interrogation by operatives, but that the government was being careful not to tamper with his immunity as provided in the 1999 Constitution.


"As a result of the immunity he enjoys, he cannot be directly arrested. But all the details are being assembled and a security committee has been constituted to confront him with such details. Once the evidence is confirmed as incontrovertible, further steps can then be taken to ensure prosecution in line with treason and such charges," the source said.


It was learnt that the governor had fled to Niger Republic and that some other suspected top politicians are either on their way to Niger or Chad republic.


"The government has decided to bring sanity to this whole issue of insecurity. Some security agencies, who have been on the trail of those concerned in recent times, have reports indicting a number of persons, including government officials.


Other prominent figures, who are linked with the group, are believed to be heading towards Northern borders," another source said.


It was also gathered that the acclaimed leader of the sect, Abubakar Skekau, had fled the country to Niger, following intense moves to burst him in recent weeks.


It was understood that his outbursts during the week on a cable television, were made from a hideout from that country.


The source stated, "There is an operation aimed at clamping down on the Boko Haram leadership. Security operatives almost burst the leader, Abubakar Shekau and he immediately fled Nigeria. He is believed to be in Niger Republic now where he is coordinating activities of the group. The operatives will not relent in their bid to track him down."

This is d type of protest i need frm ndigbo, gud on abians.

Thank you. This is what its abt

This is the good protest
The fuel subsidy one was a bad protest
Kudos to Abians and all Nigerians who love peace, justice and human dignity.

This is a welcome development, more states in the south east should join in the protests. i wonder for how long the southerners will continue to be killed in the north. The killings has to stop if we are going to continue answering one Nigeria. There's no one Nigeria in this senseless mutilating of innocent and helpless citizens. Northern elders pls intervene, so that we don't have a repeat of what happened in the past

So every Tom wants to protest now!

who is fooling whom?
bunch of morons wait a few days and another bomb will go off again in the North.
FYI: tell your brother to leave the north, THE PRORITY is LIFE not MONEY,
but for an IBO man, it is buiness as usual.

While I think the protest is a good thing, tribalizing it is bad.

Considering the fact that the protester in your photo actually says Southerners on his poster

[size=14pt]Did anyone notice how healthy the protesters at the Eastern Nigeria are ?  Not the Orangutans at Ojota and Kano !!![/size]

why can't they protest against northerners too caught in the cross fire just to start a trend? selfish people

WAKE UP SOUTH EASTERNERS,

1, Protest against killings in the North,

2, Protest against Police and Army brutalities,

3, Protest against corruption of public officials,

4, Protest against bad roads/substandard projects,

5, Protest against extortion by Nigerian customs, they are absent in the north.

6, Enugu "international" Airport must be demolished and built to standard

Good my brothers. We are really sending the message across and will continue to do so. In other to put a stop to this senseless carnage and cycle of barbaric killings by barbarians. We have started an initiative to finally relocate our people and to channel our resources to further develop our homeland for the benefits of all Ndigbo.

History will be kind to us.

They expended their best on fuel subsidy and now they are attending to less important issues. I hope nobody did not betray them this time.
When Aregbesola was evacuating oyo and osun indegenes they were laugh at the 'Yorubas', now they will that a deady-body weighs more.

I learn in dynamics of promotional methodologies that insulting a big brand is a quest for recognition.

You guyz, we are here protesting for the removal of subsidy, but for you, you are protesting for some thing different, let us finish with General jonalooter haram after that boko haram.

If all Niger deltans reasoned like you, we would gladly let Aboki's and Yoruba's enslave you folks forever. Too bad, you are the weaker gene among your people.

Most of the people who don't care about the ongoing occupy Nigeria protest are those in SE,SS, simply because they have no knowledge of the implications that policy will brings to their life. Only what they understand is GEJ is their man, He is there. MR EBELE AZIKWE. Its enough for them to carry on even if he is clueless and lack ability to govern. That means tribal/religion sentiment is the order of the day in that part of Nigeria. Moreover They can not endure when the hardship descends. Unless relying on armed robberies or blood cash way out to cope. They also lack the knowledge to understand that their man is unable to protect their people around the Nation simply because HE IS CLUELESS. And here they are blind to see that. What a sentiment bigot set of people.
