The authorities of the Nigerian Army have confirmed that 50 people lost their lives in two bomb explosions that rocked Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, on Friday.

The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in a statement on Friday that 43 persons died in the first explosion which occurred at 7.40am and seven others in the second explosion.

Several other people were also said to have sustained varying degrees of injuries from the two explosions.

It was learnt a teenage girl and an elderly woman carried out the two attacks at the screening area for the Eid prayers in Damaturu.

The explosions occurred while the screening of intending worshippers for the early morning prayers was taking place at Layin Geange and ‘Phase 1 ‘ in front of the former Yobe State Secretariat, in Damaturu.

Usman said the situation was under control.

One of the residents, Musa Yusuf, who also spoke to our correspondent on the telephone, said, “There is apprehension in Damaturu as I am talking to you. We are celebrating Sallah in fear with these explosions this morning.

“It is hard to ascertain the number of casualties now but the military and policemen are everywhere keeping watch in the town.”

Usman, who urged citizens to be calm and vigilant, said the Acting Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and the Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim Geidam, sympathised with the families of the victims of the unfortunate incidents.

He said, “The situation is under control. Both Yobe State Governor and the Chief of Army Staff sympathise with and urged the people to stay calm and be security conscious.

“No amount of terrorist act will deter our resolve to stamp out terrorism and insurgency.”

It is obvious that these retards are now desperate. They are no longer capturing towns because of the actions of the Nigerian Army. They have gone back to their old ways of random bombings.

Your end is near....Senseless Bloodsucking Bastards

Jehovah never sleeps nor slumber, He will reveal the secrets behind this boko stuff and expose all their sponsors very soon. Evil cannot reign forever that's what am sure of.

Islamic thought includes all educational
endeavors and scholarly opinions made in
distinguishing Islam’s core principles, its
simplicity and its tenderness and compassion in
its approach to all aspects of human relations.
Today there are many individuals/groups just like the BOKOHARAM who study Islam from a superficial point of view and emerge with their own ideas andimaginary interpretations which often diverge greatly from the established legislation in the area of study. Because of such studies lacking a true basis in Islamic jurisprudence, many non-
Muslims are given a bad understanding about
Islam.
may God bring the end to our suffering from the hands of those terrorist.

rest in peace to the departed soul.
