DAMATURU (AFP) – A member of Boko Haram sect on Saturday claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks that killed at least 63 people in the northeast of the country the day before.

“We are responsible for the attack in Borno (state) and Damaturu,” Abul Qaqa told an AFP correspondent by phone.

“We will continue attacking federal government formations until security forces stop persecuting our members and vulnerable civilians,” Qaqa vowed.

The Friday bomb and gun attacks, including two suicide blasts, targeted police stations, an army base and churches in the cities of Damaturu, Maiduguri and two other small towns.

“Sixty-three people (are) confirmed dead” in Damaturu, a Red Cross official who asked not to be named said.

A lawyer who visited Damaturu’s government hospital Saturday looking for a missing friend said he counted 60 bodies in the morgue, “all brought in yesterday from the attacks.”

The lawyer, who asked not to be named, told AFP he found the friend, a policeman, among the corpses.

He said anxious relatives were flocking to the hospital in search of loved ones.

An AFP reporter who also visited the morgue said most of the dead appeared to be policemen.

The attackers bombed their targets then took on the security forces in gun battles. Residents said gunfire rang for several hours across the city after the explosions.

In a mainly Christian neighbourhood of Damaturu called Jerusalem, six churches were bombed in addition to a police station.

“It was a suicide bomb attack at one of our buildings. The attacker came in a Honda CRV and rammed into the building and explosives exploded,” Suleimon Lawal, police chief for Yobe state, whose capital is Damaturu, told AFP.

He did not specify the building affected, but an AFP correspondent in the city said a double-storey complex housing the police anti-terrorism unit was hit by a suicide bomber, as well as the police heaquarters.

Another suicide attack damaged a military base in Maiduguri on Friday.

The journalist described scenes of chaos and destruction in Damaturu.

“In fact, Damaturu is looking just like Libya … burnt cars and buildings,” said the reporter.

“A police station and a mechanical workshop of the police were attacked. Six churches in the area were also bombed,” said resident Edwin Silas, adding: “The whole city is traumatised.”

Adamu Mohammed, a mason working at the police headquarters in Damaturu at the time of the attack said he saw the bodies of five policemen as he made good his escape after the bomb went off.

The string of attacks came two days ahead of the annual Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.

Police have been placed on red alert nationwide.

Militants from Boko Haram, whose name means “Western Education Is Sin” in the regional Hausa language, have in the past targeted police and military, community and religious leaders, as well as politicians.

The sect, which wants to see the establishment of an Islamic state in northern Nigeria, staged an uprising which was brutally put down by security forces in 2009.

‎3 of the 5 ABSU rapists have been identified, Jonah Uche (accountancy), Ifeanyi Ogu Justin and Zaki (Duberville lodge), This is for real, they dont want to mention their names, but we journalist already know them now.

Why wont the girl in question come out and help with the investigations. This keeps me wondering. She must have known those guys in the first place. We all are going round circles and only this girl can help unravel these guys. I watched the video and i was so mad at the scenerio. I said to myself, if only these girl would just say something, or give us a clue, then we will head somewhere in apprehending them. But without her saying nothing, i guess we have nothing to say for now.

I've heard calls like this too, recently last week. One called and sensing its a scam, i played along in a 15mins call time. He said he's my uncle and has left nigeria since i was 5yrs old and might not remember him (Mufafucka thinks am a baby) telling me i should go meet with his friend who just got back from the Uk to clear a container he sent to our family(As if the idiot has a family), but should go with some amount of money and he would join me soon(making it sound easy). u know wat i told dat idiot? I told him to send the container to my warehouse close to Area "F" after it has been sorted out, then i can play my part by selling all the stuff as am a good marketer and keep the money in my account for him to arrive for his own share. He hung up immediately.

Tumfweko has exclusively learnt that Zambian housemate in Big Brother Kim is pregnant !! It is confirmed that one of the Big Brother housemates is responsible so there is no doubt the pregnancy was conceived in the show, the biggest reality TV show in Africa.

As many suspected, one of the midnight romps with Malawian Lomwe is a possible cause for this pregnancy . “She Went For The Money And Came Back with A Baby.!” one of close sources to Kim said.Pic on the left, Kim posing for a photo with her BIG tummy! (Note: the pic doesn’t show the actual pregnancy). The top suspects are Lomwe and Nic

This came without surprise because during the show housemates especially karen was worried about kim because she had been having nausea, and vomiting in the mornings; they all seemed to think that she was pregnant Kim had on the other hand had implied that she wanted to join a Kenyan university – or was it just a ploy to get close to the man of her dreams(Nic)? But the pregnancy will definitely change these plans.

And Kim is also reported to have won the sluty behavior awards for being just that slutty. This is the first in BBA history according to sources close to BBA.

The organizers of Big Brother, have never admitted nor show sexual escapades in the house, Although the weekly shopping for the housemates included condoms, it is a no brainer what they were for and it is puzzling why (the person involved) and Kim didn’t see it fit to make use of them

She is indeed preggy But the million dollar question is who’s the father? Nic(Kenyan) or Lomwe(Malawian?)

Lest i forget, I only listen to INSPIRATION FM radio station on sunday morning when driving to church. Those life changing messages aired by dan foster. Thats d only time i listen to radio while driving to church.

I use to listen to radio stations, but the growth of annoying radio adverts turned me off totally. 2 much adverts on radio stations. So am not a fan. While driving 2, i prefer to listen to songs from my cds or ipod with thousands of songs blasting from my car speakers.
