@DDN and carrey
Could u guys take ur time and go thru elrufai's last two write ups in thisday newspapers before coming here to fill our space with ur bigotted rants.

I strongly believe El Rufa'i will be a good leader the kind of leader Nigeria and Nigerians deserve, a leader that can step on toes and keep to his words, we need little politics in governance but big action nd that I find in El Rufai. For those of us searching for a saint 'keep searching'

Going thru this thread makes me feel like crying, it shows how desperate Nigerians are
for change. We now see beyond ethnic, religious and geographical devides, Lets keep
the fire burning to save our future.
Our greatest challenge in the core north, Kano to be specific is the shekarau factor, which
we re doing everything possible to reduce it to the bearest minimum.

Only God can save us!!

Family: ‘Kano murder suspect forced to confess’ .

Bello Garba Bello

.A new twist was added to the story of the slain assistant director of State Security Service (SSS) who was murdered in Kano alongside his wife and three children when family members said yesterday that his eldest son’s admission on Monday that he committed the murders was made under duress. Family spokesman Umar Danjani Hadejia said yesterday that a representative of the family had an audience with the suspect, Bello Garba Bello, and that they discussed his “confession” for about an hour.


According Danjani, Bello, popularly known as Baba, told the family representative that the SSS operatives forced him to confess that he killed his father, mother and three siblings. “He told a representative of the family who had an hour’s session with him that his confessions were not true, and that he admitted to the killings in order to stop the treatment meted out on him,” Danjani said.

Contrary to police claims that Baba said he committed the murders alone, Danjani said that Baba told the family’s representative yesterday that he was not part of the murder, and that the murder was committed by about seven hoodlums.

Danjani, an immediate younger brother to the slain mother of five and cousin to the late SSS officer, also said his late sister was a heavily-built woman and he could not imagine a situation whereby her lanky son could overpower her.

“She was a giant and very strong. I can’t imagine a situation whereby a person of Baba’s lanky frame could overpower her. He can’t overpower five persons in one fell swoop. We believe even animals can’t be killed in that sequence by one person,” he said.

Danjani said Baba also told the family that he was sweet-talked into admitting to the killings “because they pestered him with questions and dehumanising treatments.” According to the family, Baba had been in chains ever since his arrest and they promised to let him off the hook if he admitted to killing the family members.

The family also said immediately after the incident, they queried 11-year-old Farouk after his escape from the murder scene and he did not implicate his brother. “He told us that somebody from the fence called one Aminu, but we are dismayed to see something contrary in Farouk’s statement to the SSS,” he said.

The family also appealed to the SSS to release Farouk since they concluded that Baba committed the murder alone. “You can hold Baba since he is a suspect but you cannot hold Farouk. You should let him join his family,” Danjani said.

CORRUPT PEOPLE REVOLTING AGAINST CORRUPT GOVT = CORRUPT GOVT.

I only see us revolving in a circle, hw on earth are we going to change our corrupt country
with corruption clearly written on our faces and in every drop of our blood.
Do you think that these bunch of useless leaders we have are aliens sent to us from
mars? NO they are people like me and you with the same corruption laden minds and
still thinking of changing Nigeria for a better.

The very first step out is let change ourselves at individual level and then revolution comes second.

Jega's nomination as INEC chairman is 50% to having a credible leader in the 2011 polls the other 50% is left for

the political parties to allow credible candidates to emanate as their flag bearers and the govt to allow inec to

operate independently.

Jega is the right man for the job.

@ londoner, that is exactly what i want us to be "civilized" not looking at things from one angle, like my friends bukittes and co are doing

@ londoner, u seem to be ill informed about the whole thing.

Burnt building during the crisis in Jos

The crisis that engulfed the Plateau State capital of Jos on Sunday started at Dutse Uku on the city outskirts when Christian youth tried to stop a Muslim man from renovating his house that was destroyed in the November 2008 riot, according to Alhaji Kabir Muhammad, the man at the center of the storm.
Speaking to our reporter in Jos yesterday, Alhaji Kabiru said, “During the 2008 crisis [in Jos], my house was burnt and I had to relocate elsewhere while I started renovating it gradually. By weekend, I had reached the level where I was going to put on the decking. The residents in my area had earlier volunteered to help me when I come to put on the decking. Therefore yesterday (Sunday, January 17th) people came to the site to help in putting on the decking. We did a significant level of the work when the sand finished, so I rushed to Yan’ Tifa [area] and ordered two trucks of sand.”

He continued, “When the driver went for the second round to supply the sand, I saw from afar that some people were stoning the people in the tipper truck, while the people in the truck too were stoning them. I went down there to see what was happening, and they told me that they were insulting them. Many people gathered there and consoled the tipper men and everybody dispersed. Then the person that was stoning the people in the truck went and told his people that he was beaten by some Hausa youths and before you know it, a mob gathered at the site where I was renovating my house and demanded that we should stop the work. I then realized that the situation might become uncontrollable, so I rushed with my car to call soldiers who were posted at Yan Trailer [garage].

“Even before I got there, someone had informed them because they were already in their van heading towards the area. So I turned back and followed them. When we arrived at my house with the soldiers, the people popularly known as Yan Kasa [i.e. natives] demanded that the renovation work should be stopped. One particular Bajari man was the one that insisted that I must halt the work. I explained to the soldiers that I had already started this work when they proposed that the work should be stopped so that the matter can be resolved. One of the soldiers even collected my number and said that about five of us will go and sit down to resolve the matter. Then all of a sudden, we saw one Achaba boy [commercial motorcyclist] heading towards us with blood all over him. Someone was pushing his motorcycle, then another old man followed suit with similar injuries. I told my people to station the two victims so that they can serve as witnesses to us. So I asked the workers to stop the work, but the workers insisted that we must continue with work since we had already mixed the cement, sand and stone.

“I told them that they should stop the work since I was the one that bought the cement, but they refused. So the soldiers said that they should continue the work with the cement that was mixed and when they finish it, they should then stop. But before you know it, we saw a group of youths from afar and they started stoning us. We later heard that they had set up a road block around Baptist area and they were beating people. So we all dispersed. That is as far as I can remember.”

Asked if the Yan Kasa youth had told him why he must stop his renovation work, Alhaji Kabir said, “Yes, they said that they don’t want any Muslim to come back to that area again. That is what they said, that no Muslim should return to that area.” He was also asked if any Muslims live in the area, and he said, “There are some Muslims, but my house happens to be at the boundary which separates our area from their area.  Down inside the area there were Muslims. There are even some that renovated their houses and returned during the [Ramadan] fasting period, but my house happens to be at the boundary and there are no Muslims there.”

Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad also denied claims that the trouble started because he encroached upon someone else’s land while renovating his house. He said, “I have heard many versions of this incident, but this is the first time I am hearing this. I have been living in that area for over twenty years. It is not even a new house. It is an old house that was burnt during the 2008 crisis. I am just trying to renovate it. There is no truth in this allegation and like I said, this is the first time I am hearing this.”

Meanwhile, Minister of Police Affairs Dr Ibrahim Yakubu Lame said in Abuja yesterday that the police have been directed to fish out and bring to book those behind Sunday’s latest mayhem in Jos.  

He said at the police force headquarters Abuja while commissioning new trucks and motorcycles that those behind the violent crisis in Jos and other upheavals in all parts of the country and their sponsors will no longer have any place to hide, as the police have been given orders to fish them out by all means and prosecute them.

Lame said the police will go after those responsible for the violence, no matter how highly placed in the society, in order to put a permanent stop to wanton destruction of lives and property. He blamed such incidents on some highly placed individuals in the society and vowed that government will not allow them to destroy the economic and social fabric of the nation.
