Nyanya bomb blast
#CHIBOK GIRLS: Masterminds of Nyanya bomb blasts nabbed – Jonathan.
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday revealed that the masterminds of the two deadly bomb blasts that rocked Nyanya, a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory have been arrested and are currently helping the security agencies in their efforts to unmask their financiers.
Jonathan spoke while fielding questions from journalists at the end of the 24th World Economic Forum for Africa, WEFA, held in Abuja which ended yesterday.
Jonathan said he had declared a total war on Boko Haram ‘’terror group’’ to rout it out of existence in the country, warning that anybody thinking that the spate of bombings and other devastation activities by the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria would force his administration to bend over forward and negotiate power with the sect or their sponsors should rather have a re-think as such a situation would not arise.
“Boko Haram is a terror group and as journalists you should know the meaning of terror. Before the 9/11 no body in the US or UK imagined the dimension of terrorists in the world. You can not be too sure of what ideology that drives their leaning. Sometimes, it is from the religious sentiments… but we need to combine so many factors to underscore their driving spirit . But I want to advice that the terrorists should also know that they don’t do certain things and get away with it because most of these activities are criminal offenses and they should know that when they are caught, they would pay dearly for it. ‘’For instance, I can tell you that the masterminds of the last Nyanya bomb blast have been arrested and would face the long arm of the law. I want to assure also that sooner than later, the abducted Chibok school girls would also be rescued with the help of the global community and we will use remote sensing technology to smoke them out to face the consequences,” Jonathan said.

BOMB BLAST IN ABUJA: AFRICA THISDAY calls for NO WORK DAY in Abuja tomorrow…
At 6:45AM today, the densely populated Nyanya town, a suburb of Abuja was thrown into pandemonium and tears by the multiple bomb explosions that rocked her. Already more than 70 people have been reported dead and more than 120 others are lying helplessly in pains in a government hospital in Abuja. The Boko Haram sect has been responsible for most attacks in the northern part of Nigeria.
Following today’s attack on Nyanya, AFRICA THISDAY has called on the government to make tomorrow a NO WORK DAY for Abuja residents to help the city mourn the victims of the Nyanya attack in this Easter period.
In a memo sent to major media houses in Abuja by AFRICA THISDAY this afternoon, the online news-blog advocated for a citizen-participation in the fight against terrorism. “Terrorism has become the first enemy of Nigeria having overtaken the government in position. There is an urgent need for Nigerians to network for a radical revolution against these rascals called islamic extremists and their sponsors. Its time to defile protocols and bring jungle justice on whoever that is associated with Boko Haram. They are fighting the people, the people must fight them back because the government has proved impotent in protecting the people”. The memo read in part.
The memo went further to read thus: “Africa Thisday sends out our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims of Nyanya bomb explosion and calls on government to declare a NO WORK DAY tomorrow, Tuesday, 5th April 2014 in Abuja to enable relatives and friends to mourn this Black Monday.”
