Politicians Who Lost Out In Elections Behind Boko Haram Says Solomon Lar!

Miffed by the recurring security challenges in the country, the first civilian governor of Plateau State and pioneer National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Solomon Lar, yesterday, broke his silence on the issue, saying those behind the bombings were some unpatriotic Nigerians, who were using some non-Nigerians in the name of Boko Haram to terrorise the nation.

Lar, who spoke with journalists in Jos, Plateau State capital, after paying a sympathy visit to commiserate with the two churches which were recently attacked by the sect, said he had to cut short his medical trip to the United Kingdom on hearing of the attack. Lar attends the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN), which was also bombed.

He said it was unfortunate that some politicians were bent on getting power to destroy the nation whether it was in the interest of the nation or not.

“But if they destroy the country, which one would they now rule over? If we destroy Nigeria as our country we would have nowhere to run to because no country will be able to take us. It will be worse than Tsunami,” he said.

He used the occasion to warn those bent on destroying the country’s unity, saying the nation was not a failed state for some people to think that they can create chaos and get away with it.

He said the report of the federal government committee on Jos crisis he chaired has been submitted to the government, “if implemented, it will provide solutions to our problems as a country.”

He charged Nigerians, irrespective of religious or political affiliations to partner and fight terrorism.
Earlier at COCIN, Lar informed the leadership of the church that he was devastated to hear that the church he laid its foundation in 1980 was targeted for an attack.

He recalled that it was at COCIN that the likes of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, late Alhaji Abubakar Rimi, Chief MKO Abiola, and others worshipped, despite their religious backgrounds, stating that the unity of the nation was not in doubt.

Earlier, President of COCIN, Mr. Soja Bewarang, had thanked Lar for the visit and stressed that the church would not be intimidated in any way as it would continue to pray for peace to reign.

Also at the office of the Catholic Arch Bishop, Ignatius Kaigama, Lar commiserated with the church over the St. Finbarr’s attack and urged the church to be strong and pray for lasting peace.

The Catholic Church Bishops conference, he added, was very active in the past saying the conference can help in bringing an end to these security challenges. Lar was accompanied in the visit by his wife, Ambassador Mary, and his aides.

It will be recalled that members of the Northern Political Leaders Forum, headed by Adamu Ciroma had promised that if a Northerner does not emerge as President in 2011 they would "make the country ungovernable".

After a meeting last weekend at the Maizube farm residence of Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, the head of the Northern Leaders Political Forum, Adamu Ciroma, pleaded for peace on the Northern part of the country.

However, Ciroma forgot to add that it was the threatening comments for him and his fellows in the Northern Elders Political Forum that had stoked religious sentiments and inspired hate groups such as Boko Haram who may have been inspired by the comments from Alhaji Lawal Kaita who said in October 2010 that "The North is determined, if that happens, to make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy".

Kaita, founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and close ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, had at that time warned that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that will befall the country, if Jonathan emerges President.

Now, if Nigerians had thought that Kaita was joking, his own principal, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, had come out openly on the 14th of December 2010 to say " Let me again send another message to the leadership of our great country, especially the political leadership that those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.”

In the light of the above, many are beginning to ask the question if Boko Haram is just a creation of some in the North in reaction to power slipping from the zone and an attempt to have leverage to renegotiate the return of power to the region by 2015.

Jos Church Attack:suicide Bomber,cocin Member -dfence Hq.
From UBONG UKPONG,sun newspaper

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) yesterday identified Mr. Adams Joseph Ashaba, as the Boko Haram suicide bomber, who allegedly masterminded the bombing of the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) in Jos, the Plateau State capital on February 26, disclosing that he was actually a member of the church.

The bomber had allegedly attacked COCIN that Sunday morning during service, where he was killed after killing a baby, a worshipper, his accomplice and injuring 38 other persons, including the state’s Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hiljah Abraham and former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ezekiel Gomos.
Addressing Defence correspondents in Abuja, the Director of Naval Information, Commodore Kabir Aliyu, on behalf of the Joint Security Information Managers Committee, said that the identification of the mastermind would now end the allegation that the man in military uniform, who was lynched by some angry church members for allowing the bomber into the premises of the church to explode the bomb, was a soldier.

“The DHQ wishes to clarify that contrary to the earlier reports that a soldier was lynched by aggrieved members of the church for allowing the bomber to gain access into the church premises, no soldier was anywhere close to the church before the explosion. Investigations revealed that on February 27, one Mr Julius came to the Special Task Force (STF) HQ to complain of his missing brother, one Mr Adams Joseph Ashaba. He claimed that the said person was at the COCIN Church Headquarters on Sunday, 26 February, 2012 to worship when the explosion rocked the area. He later confirmed that he was informed that his brother’s body was picked in a bush by men of Civil Defence corps and deposited at JUTH mortuary. He then went to JUTH where he identified the corpse as his brother, Mr Adams Joseph Ashaba and was directed by hospital staff to STF HQ for clearance.

“During interrogation, it was discovered that the alleged suicide bomber who was lynched by the worshippers and in military uniform was the same Adams Joseph Ashaba. With this development, Reverend John D Harung and two other clergymen from the COCIN Headquarters were invited to HQ STF to ascertain that he was a member of their church and not a soldier as alleged”, Commodore Aliyu stated.
He said that the Defence Headquarters viewed the hasty allegation leveled against the military in the unfortunate incident as a calculated attempt to frustrate the operations of the STF by the same elements who have been unduly calling for the withdrawal of STF from Plateau State.WWW.sunewsonline.com
