Boko Haram’s Kabiru Sokoto Was Set Free Without A Single Gun Shot From Police At Those That Seized Him
By SaharaReporters, New York
Scores of locals in Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja have explained how the suspected kingpin of Boko Haram, Kabiru Umar, aka Kabiru Sokoto, was captured from Police.
Contrary to the story told so far, the locals told SaharaReporters through an interpreter in Angwar Tsohuwar Kasuwa in Abuja where the incident occurred, that the people who came to take Kabiru from the police numbered in the hundreds, but were not armed.
Asking that their identity not be revealed, the sources said that the invading group liberated Kabiru Umar without the police firing a single shot until he had been taken away, as if to give the impression that there had been a fight. In the process, however, the police killed one person in the area and arrested several people they claimed to be “suspects.”
Five policemen our sources said came casually as if they are not holding suspect of a high profile case, and did not also inform the police in Abaji town ahead of their coming and upon arrival.
They confirmed the suspect’s real name to be “Kabiru Umar,” and described him as a man of few words. Instead, he was always busy with the Almajiris learning under him, they said.
One of the sources said of the taking of Kabiru, “We were watching when some people came from nowhere and swooped on the police. We thought [they police] will initially return fire but surprisingly they overpowered them like film (movie) and captured Kabiru in handcuffs from the police. And after [the police] lost him to the people they started shooting and arresting innocent people.”
Another of the sources said that they suddenly saw people struggling and at first did not know what was going on. “There was no single gun shot, nor teargas. The people just collected him and go. How did the mob know that they are coming with Kabir? It means there is something wrong somewhere with the police. There is nothing like taking him to our chief house. Our chief has no business with them. ‘
The local chief, Dr. Adamu Baba Yunusa, could not be reached as he was said to be in Abuja.
Earlier today, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim, declared Kabiru Umar wanted, placing a N50 million bounty on his head. The action came one day after President Goodluck Jonathan gave the IG 24 hours to produce the suspect.
That ultimatum expired today, without Kabiru being found, and nothing noteworthy happening within the government.

Catholic Church Maddala Bombing

We thank Jesus for allowing them to come and wound him in His Church. They dont know that Jesus cannot die the second time. I thank Jesus through those that died for making the sacrifice to save Nigeria. With our security or not, I told those near me that day, that by this act of daring to wound Jesus that the Devilish people's days are numbered. The happening of today is proving it right, because it has been a tradition. From Saul/Paul down the ages Jesus do arrest up till our days. Be cheerful Nigerians for their days are numbered.
Alleluia, Praise Jesus, Honour to Mary our Mother and Queen.

who is deceiving who?
it's rather unfortunate that the government cannot protect her citizens. the instability and insecurity in nigeria is simply awful.Mr president has left a lot of us heartbroken.we had so much faith and confidence in him which was why we voted him in to lead us but, i guess we should get used to disappointing leaders.
Goodluck Jonathan portrays himself as a weakling,allowing himself to be manipulated just like a puppet.
He should pull his act together and act like a leader, courageous,wise and bold enough to make the right choices. A lot of innocent people have been killed, a lot of Christians,Ibos have been slaughtered for no just cause. it is irresponsible and indeed shames me to hear that my President is willing to negotiate with TERRORISTS. JONATHan, we are tired of being afraid and looking over our shoulders every second. please,please, find them and let them be exterminated.

Gentlemen and ladies in the house, plssssss not much talk will do anything here. Its the final battle called armagedon. The hand of God is about to strike down all the perpetrators of evil.
Now those in power and those thirsty for power but havent got it in Nigeria are now, crazy and thirsty for blood using a group called 'BOKO HARAM' and other groups, they are all there (some are brutal armed robbers).
Just Wait and see, it won't be long you will here confessions and deadly strikes on those who have shed innocent blood. Only if you can hear the wailing of the blood of the innocent killed in the past few years now you will understand me.
be warned, JUDGEMENT is at hand!!! BOKO Haram, Politicians, PDP, CPC, Govt!!!

Kabiru Sokoto - A release by Design?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 21, 2012 - 14:47.
What if the release was planned inorder for Kabiru Sokoto to lead the undercover agents to their base?
Sensor(s) might even have been mounted in his clothes for the purpose of traicing him to his hideout.
Remember that Mr president travelled to the states immediately after the election. The result is an unpecedented amount of US and Israeli undercover agents in Nigeria.
Whether this move is possitive or otherwise is left for the officials behind the move.

What is the problem in Nigeria.
This is a very simple case. All the police men present during sokoto's escape should be jailed .
The IG was supposed to mount a road block preventing access in and out within 100km from the point of escape.
We need intelligence officers in the police force.
This is basically white lies.

Was Kabiru Sokoto Set Free Really?
Submitted by Muhammad NaIya (not verified) on January 20, 2012 - 22:37.
Was he set free really? Yes the Police were naiive to have taken a high profile suspect to his "homebase" without adequater cover. What else could have been the outcome? A large number of unarmed civilians could have been killed had the Police not shown restraint and many would blame the Police for killing civilians because it was the Police that WENT to Abaji!
What is worrying is was Kabiru Sokoto really what the Police claim him to be?

what wrong
Submitted by collins (not verified) on January 20, 2012 - 20:37.
@oleku please The mojor problem with ours people of eastern nigeria is that our leader want to blame other tribes for their failures, when a yaruba or hausa man is the president , they told that he hate us. when one of us is the president the hausa/fulani are on his throat, so i dont know what the Hell did the people of eastern nigeria especially the ndigbos want, the hausa/ yaruba dont rule us in peace and also dont allow to rule in peace, so why the hell did the Ndigbo dont disbursed the hausa / yaruba when they are ruling. because OBJ was the persident igbo was number 3 citizen of the country, and now the closer to the IGBO of the ten major tribe of the countryis the president, while Igbo are number 4 and 5 citizen in the country , the highest ranking appointment (SGF) is an igbo man, National Security Adviser is ijaw man , cheif of army staff is IGBO man remember that almost all the people IGBO where killed by BH member soldier not police where in charge

This is an example of how the Hausa-Fulani destroyed Nigeria’s institutions – Police, Army, Education, health, Industry etc.. He was sacked but Yar’Ardua brought him back and Ringim promoted him.
In a normal country, Zakari Biu should have been sentenced to death (by hanging) 8 times.

JAMB REGISTRATION
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 20, 2012 - 14:53.
It is appalling that JAMB website for the ongoing registration refuses to take biometrics of candidates thereby frustrating both registered agents of the board and parents and offline becomes the only resort. Why can't JAMB employ capable hands to manage their website? Or they just want to market their #5000 offline. Education is a social service. If you cannot use biometric remove them and allow students to register as it was before 2009.
