NEW: Military official tells CNN that at least 156 people were killed The Red Cross in Abuja reports 50 injuries Nigeria closes its borders with Niger and Cameroon and imposes a state of emergency The Islamist militant group Boko Haram claims responsibility
Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigeria imposed a 24-hour curfew Saturday in the northern city of Kano after assailants killed scores of people and wounded others in a hail of gunfire and coordinated bombings of eight government sites.
A military official told CNN that at least 156 people were dead and feared the number would rise.
"The hospitals are not equipped to deal with the influx and severity of the injuries, so we are expecting that figure to go up further," the official said.
Nwankpa Nwankpa, a Red Cross information officer in the capital, Abuja, said 50 people were injured in the attacks. He said that search and rescue operations are underway and volunteers are working to assist the injured. . . . .

y2kaustin: Good gesture from the USA. Hopeful no money was spent. If the ship is able to get to Benue or Lake chad it should be stationed their because has no business to do anywhere in the south And exactly what type of miraculous Teleporting engineering would transport a sea vessel from the Atlantic Ocean to Chad?  |

texazzpete: Most of the 4-8gb memory cards in Otigba are cheap clones, not nearly as durable as the real deal. Find a way to buy your memory cards from reputable sources  I suspected the same too. But these days it's hard differentiating real from fake. @lynxnoon so what are you suggesting na? I already suffered enough, dash me na  . So how do we do it? |

Any one here knows why my Optimus black keeps frying memory cards? It fried an 8 gig card last month and today a 4 gig one. Funny thing is the 2 gig one it came with always works excellently  |

Na wa oooo ! Don't make fun of patriots who died serving their country. Those soldiers being fed are on duty and cannot leave their posts for anything in the world, thus have to be fed by the army management. |

Abagworo: Borno Governor is not a sponsor of Boko Haram but was involved in its founding era alongside former Governor Sheriff. They have long lost control of the group. That is if the group doesn't eliminate them.
Its a note of warning to PDP on the dangers of using young men to intimidate their opponents and at the end of the day dumping them. Boko Haram is a product of that and the Governor is PDP! Do you know anything about what you're saying? Borno state governor is in the ANPP! |

koruji: [size=14pt]Which country gives officials immunity to treason? NIGERIAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!![/size] It's not the country as such, it's the useless 1999 constitution we operate with. It's almost like the system is working against it self, but i'm really impressed with our security agencies none the less. When we have a system that allows criminals be elected into office, it results in what we have today in the country. But who even screens these people before they become candidates? Isn't it the SSS. |

dayokanu: Watching Bendtner for Sunderland
I just wonder Wenger ever saw in him at any point in his career It's like taking a gamble, the secret is knowing when to pull out. Fergy would never have kept someone for that long no matter the promise the player exhibited as a youngster. Wenger seems to show too much loyalty to players who will dump him the minute they smell an extra penny elsewhere. |

Politics › Re: Serving Northern Governor Under Investigation For Strong Links With Bokoharam ! by edoyad(op): 2:21am On Jan 14, 2012 |
Due to popular demand:
A serving governor in one of the northern states is under investigation over alleged sponsorship of the Islamic sect,Boko Haram. Security agencies have already raised a panel to quiz him on the allegation. But he is not the only one under such scrutiny.Security operatives are on the trail of several other politicians from the North to come and say what they have in common with the sect. . . . . . .
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that security reports have indicted the governor for having a 'deep' relationship with Boko Haram. . . .
The governor, according to sources,has been evasive by hiding under one official engagement or the other. A reliable source said: "A serving northern governor has been indicted by security reports as having intimate connection with Boko Haram. . . . . said governor is already aware and he has been moving here and there, including some trips to Niger Republic and Chad . "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. " Responding to a question, the source added: "The government has decided to bring sanity to this whole issue of insecurity. Some security agencies which have been on the trail of those concerned in recent times have reports indicting a number of persons, including government officials." . . . . . The source said: "A list of government officials and those to be quizzed from the North has been compiled by security agencies. There are intelligence reports that some of them are planning to flee abroad. "But there is no hiding place for them. Security agencies have been placed on the alert in all airports and seaports,” a sources said. . . . "Some of the suspects are said to be on the run to Niger Republic and Chad too." But following fears of jailbreak and invasion, security was beefed up yesterday around the 17 Boko Haram members flown from Damaturu to Abuj, . . |
