Barbaric acts are no culture. Culture is love and peace and celebrations. If being gay is a culture thing, then why are there American, Indian, Asian and African gays??

AmakaDNBStories:
Many years ago African children afflicted with small pox are called cursed and thrown away. Twins too in some part of Ngeria. The people who did all these believed they were the true custodians of the African culture.

Okay...Mugabe the saint.

No fewer than 30 people detained at the Kogi State office of the Directorate of State Service were freed on Friday night when it was attacked by gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect.

This was as four people, including an anti-riot policeman, were reportedly killed in the attack by the invading insurgents.

The attackers were said to have immediately made for the cell of the DSS office located along Hassan Katsina Road, Lokoja, and released all suspects kept there after gaining entrance.

Our correspondent gathered that around 9.45pm on Friday, the gunmen with sophisticated weapons invaded the DSS office.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the heavily armed men that stormed the DSS office appeared to have overwhelmed the DSS officials present, prompting a Deputy Director of the agency, whose name is yet to be ascertained, to quickly put a distress call to the police at about 10:40pm.

It was gathered that combined patrol teams of soldiers and policemen were later drafted to the place and they engaged the invaders in a gun duel for over seven hours.

The source said the security operatives later overpowered the attackers and some of them (invaders) fled into the bush.

He added that at the end of the shootout, the bodies of a policeman and three of the attackers were discovered.

The source further said two of the attackers fled to Otokiti Housing Estate and forced themselves into one of the flats occupied by a woman.

It was gathered that the woman quickly invited soldiers who responded immediately, arrested and took them away.

The Kogi State Police Commissioner, Mr. Emmanuel Ojukwu, confirmed the attack to journalists in Lokoja.

He said at about 9:45pm on Friday, criminal elements invaded the DSS office in Lokoja.

According to him, the prompt response of the police command led to the death of three of the attackers, while at the end of the operation the command lost a policeman.

He said he could not confirm whether or not the invaders succeeded in entering the DSS office.

Ojukwu said, “We are still investigating and we cannot say much for now until we are able to lay our hands on the suspects.

“We are working assiduously with other security agents in the state to ensure that we get to the root cause of the attack.”

Meanwhile the DSS has deployed operatives from its Abuja headquarters to Lokoja, Kogi State to hunt down Boko Haram suspects that escaped from its detention facility in the state.

Sources told our correspondent that the DSS was yet to have a definite number of the escaped suspects, adding that the Kogi State directorate was in the process of submitting the full list of the suspects to the DSS headquarters in Abuja.

A DSS source said, “The service is yet to ascertain the exact number of terror suspects that escaped during the attack, but the headquarters is expecting a full briefing on the incident, including the number of escaped suspects, number of dead or wounded personnel, number of re-arrested suspects and a detailed explanation of how the facility was attacked.

“A probe into the security breach has been initiated by the service headquarters and a squad has been dispatched to the state to help in re-arresting the fleeing insurgents; we expect recapture of some of the suspects within 24 hours.”

The meeting is the less important thing, not the boko haram issue. How do you read?

Even Buhari is guilty of it

This is a 'begging' sorry fundraising function, nothing more.

We were not there, I guess the country's rep. who were there, properly analysed the situation and took the right stand.
Amaechi, or PEJ could 'dash' us the $2-3m that could have been our share.

That said, probably it was something else . . . not a biggie in my books though.

989900:
Of course disappointed Nigeria is not kneeling with bowl in hand on how to split less than $7m between her and chad and cameroun ( countries with GDP both put together; not up to 25% of Lagos state's GDP).

BTW, didn't we apply for some $2b or thereabout (can't precisely place the figure now) for the NE already?

Well done FGN!

Abbeyme:
You need to read and understand between the lines of the writeup...

The core of the project and bombings is in Nigeria. UN is seeking fundraising for Chad, specifically to tackle drought and what?

Rubbing Peter to pay Paul? This is unfair to Nigeria. I guess the boycott is a protest to the misplaced fund beneficiary as proposed by the United Nations..
