Nigeria: Kabiru Sokoto Re-Arrested

Escaped boko haram suspect, Kabiru Sokoto, has been re-arrested.

Sokoto was arrested on January 14 at Borno state government lodge in Abuja and escaped in dramatic circumstances on January 15. In the wake of his escape, former IG of Police Hafiz Ringim resigned from his post, and Commissioner of Police Zakari Biu who was in charge of the operation that led to Sokoto's escape was suspended and is currently under investigation.

Although details of the operation that led to his re-arrest, sources confirm that Sokoto was re-arrested in Taraba state by men of the SSS some time yesterday.

It is suspected that Sokoto is a key member of the boko haram sect and was involved in at least both the Christmas day bombing at Madalla, Niger state, and the attack on the Police Force Headquarters in June 2011.

Background

Kabiru Sokoto was arrested at the Borno state government lodge on January 14 after he reportedly went to the lodge together with a Flight Lieutenant of the Nigerian Air Force and one Ibrahim, who had sought and got approval by officers in charge of the lodge to spend the night there.

Ibrahim had called the lodge officer, who was away in Maiduguri, seeking to be given a room for the night and he was granted this, but he came to the lodge on Friday night along with Kabiru and the Air Force man.

Security men at first refused to allow him bring in the other two, saying they were told to give only him accommodation. Ibrahim then called Maiduguri again, pleading that two of his friends also needed help to sleep at the lodge with him, and he was then permitted to take them in.

But early on January 14, a team of well-armed policemen arrived at the lodge looking for Kabiru, after tracking him through his cell phone signal, a source told Daily Trust.

The police team first cordoned off the whole area and raided several government lodges, before zeroing in on the Borno government lodge where they found Kabiru and the Air Force officer.

According to witnesses of his escape at Abaji, trouble started in the area when policemen from Abuja city brought Kabiru Sokoto in a Toyota Hilux van. A gang of youths flagged down the vehicle as it was heading for the Ona of Abaji's Palace, creating a chaos during which the suspect escaped.

The police had earlier taken the suspect to a house he owned at Abaji to conduct search and were on their way to the traditional head's palace when the youths saw him in handcuffs and then blocked the road, the witness said.

Commissioner of Police Zakari Biu was suspended from the force on Tuesday January 17.

How Kabiru Sokoto settled at Abaji

Kabiru Sokoto, who is married to one wife and has 3 children, came to reside at Abaji around March 2010 from Sokoto State, neighbours told Daily Trust.

When he came to Abaji, he first stayed at the home of a trader along the new market road.

A few days later he rented a one-room apartment at Unguwar Asharawa in the area and moved in with his family.

Residents of the area said after Kabiru settled, he came to endear himself to the people in the area. He was considered as a generous man and a devoted Muslim cleric who often led the five daily prayers in a mosque at Anguwar Asharawa.

Later, Kabiru opened a kiosk and began selling provisions/cosmetics in the neighbourhood.

Sources said Kabiru relocated to Abaji after his house in Sokoto State was burnt in 2009 on suspicion that he was affiliated to the Boko Haram sect.

People in Abaji said Kabiru has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics/Chemistry.

Nigeria's Supreme Court says it has fired five governors who overstayed their tenures.

Justice Walter Onnoghen said on Friday that the governors of Bayelsa, Cross River, Kogi, Adamawa and Sokoto states should have left office in May 2011.
The ruling-party governors first came into office in May 2007 for four-year tenures, but their elections were annulled. After a re-election, they took a second oath of office in 2008.
A lower court's ruling on Feb. 23, 2011 had exempted the five governors from having to face elections in April 2011, saying their new tenures had started in 2008, not 2007. However, the Supreme Court now says it is unconstitutional for anyone to hold office for more than four years.

Were you actually in love or in LUST, i am pretty sure that the lady in question is very good on bed and that is why you were blindly in lust and find it very difficult to resist/forget her.

Come off that irritating thing and find a real wife material for yourself.

I am a lady too, on no circumstance should a woman be rude to her husband or husband to be, more over, the Bible says "Wives, be submissive to your husbands, Husbands, love your wives" if you love her so well and she is not reciprocating with her submissiveness, then you are in for it, totally on the wrong track.

A word is enough for the wise.

Hello dearie,

kindly do me this favour: quietly delete that guy from your memory and pretend as if you've never heard of him cos its just too early to start having headaches. it will do you alot of good.

Special thanks to:

Almighty God
My Parents

My fiance

and every one

I am young lady of 26 years, from a very devoted christian home, the only female and the last child.I grew up in the way of Christ and was made to understand that life outside Christ is destruction.

What I want to share with everyone is about my love life and I really want you all to advise me on what to do cos at this moment I am highly confused.

I started having relationships nine (9) years ago while I was in ND 1, I loved my partner so well that I never knew the relationship could ever come to an end, I was in the relationship for about a year and things were going on smoothly between us until one afternoon I decided to check on him in his apartment and realised he has changed the lock to his apartment, I decided to wait patiently for him to come, on his arrival, he did not even allow me enter, all he said was that, I LOVE YOU SO WELL AND YOU HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND YOU HAVE NOT OFFENDED ME IN ANY WAY BUT I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS, "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS RELATIONSHIP, LET'S GIVE IT A BREAK" I could not say a word,  I just quietly took my leave. That was how my first relationship came to an end.

I was alone for almost a year after which I went for my I.T., on getting there I met with this wonderful young man, (a christian like me) whom till date has not left my memory, he was my everything but not from my tribe. Everyone in my house liked him but my parents insisted that I can't marry due to the fact that his not a Yoruba guy and I am their only female child, so they can't afford to throw me away. I decided within me That I was not going to go into any relationship again, not Long after, my mum started disturbing me that i should find someone who will take me for who I am and my response was that , the person I truly love has been taken away from me, she persuaded me and made me see reasons with her.

I latermet with two other guys that jilted me consecutively,during this time I was already fed up of having anything to do with a man but not long after, I met with a Muslim guy who made me realise that love does not have anything to do with religion, he was really good to me but my parent was bent on me not marrying him due to his religious beliefs that I  better go for another man and I tell you, since then, everyone that has been approaching me has been Muslims, I eventually decided to go one of them who is not practicing, an d this guy has been extremely wonderful since I met him till date, as a matter of fact, I can't just do without him, cos he is my everything, the problem is that my parent is still bent on me not marrying a Muslim and the guy said he can't afford to leave me and he want s to tie the nut before the year runs out, at this junction, I am really confused, I need your advise, I want to spend the rest of my life with this guy and I don't want my parent's anger, I want their blessings,p0please I need your advise now more than ever.

[b][/b][i][/i][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][size=8pt][/size][color=#000099][/color]what an interesting topic, it happened to me recently, when my fiance was to come and spend the night with me, we were actually together for the better part of the day and he told me he will come and spend the night with me. I left for my place to prepare for him what he will eat when he arrives. i was expecting his arrival till late around 11pm, all for him to call and tell me that he wont be able to make it down any more that he had an urgent call from his boss to be in the office tdb. i innocently believed him but his phone was off throughout the night, very early in the morning, i called him and he told me he was just entering the house from the office and he asked me when i will be coming, i told him i will call to let him know. immediately i cut off the phone, something told me to wear my clothes and go to his place, on getting there i met him about seeing off a girl out of the house, i felt cheated upon, but i tell you i did not utter a word, i only greeted them, walked past them and went into the bed room. He came to meet me inside and told me he wanted to see d girl off, i told him no problems, he went for a very long time, and before he came back i already got food ready for him, washed the bedspread they slept on and did all the home chores, when he came back, he was feeling so uncomfortable, i gave him food to eat , he could not eat well, he was forcefully playing with me, but with all these, i did not say anything. when his conscience wanted to kill him, he started confessing what i did not ask him, he told me the girl was stranded on the road, he had to help her wt a place to pass d nait and all sorts of stories and all i told him was I LOVE YOU BABY, the fact remains that for days he wasn't just himself cos he was feeling i was going to play a return match but i just asked him to promise me it wont repeat itself again, he did and ever since, we have been living happily.
