Breaking News: Boko Haram Organizes Prison Break In Bauchi

By SaharaReporters, New York

The religious sect known as Boko Haram this evening in Bauchi State demonstrated the porousness of Nigerian security by carrying off an audacious prison break and freeing over 700 people being held in the federal prison there.

The prison is located in front of the palace of the  Emir of Bauchi. Eye witnesses told Saharareporters that the group struck at about the time Muslims, including the Emir, were breaking their fast.

The Emir quickly vacated his palace while soldiers and police were being drafted from the nearby city of Jos. The governor of the state, Isah Yuguda, is currently in Saudi Arabia in observance of Hajj.

This is the third time in three days that the sect, which began an uprising in Bauchi last year, would strike.

As Sahareporters reported yesterday, Boko Haram militants have also  killed district heads and a retired police officer in Maiduguri near the palace of the Shehu of Borno.

PDP IN BORNO

PDP leaders in Borno State doesn't not how to play 5 a side game

RIGHT MAN TO VOTE

your are right my brother, anybody whom want a security and peace and no nonsense just vote BUHARI 2011

result of 50yrs misrule?

@AUCitizen: the result of 50yrs misrule is not stupidity. people become stupid and empower bad leaders when they resort to illegal means of addressing problems. you dont stop evil with evil.
Did you say:"The south of Nigeria has its own Boko Haram - cultists in the southwest, armed robbers and kidnappers in the rest of the south. They're worse terrorists than Boko Haram."
By that you admit that BH is a terrorist movement. There are only WORSE versions in the south, but they are essentially the same; they are all terrorist. You made my day. I have been waiting for an honest man to call a spade a spade. Thanks!

The North May Break Nigeria! Amos 3:3

Can two work together except they agree? Our values are different. So are our beliefs. Even from the comments on this site, it is obvious; Nigeria can only develop when the North goes its way, and the south does likewise. Let's avoid another Somalia or Rwanda genocide. For instance, in the South, the norm is to train the young to love irrespective of tribe or religion. That is why, though there are vices and crimes, there can never be widespread support for any criminal activity under any guise. But in the Core North (Hausa/Fulani) the young are nurtured to hate others that are different from them in tribe and most especially in religion; in fact they are allowed to kill non muslims and get away with it. It is lawful by their beliefs and values. Again, it is the wish of the south to emulate the the Western World and it's shenanigans, but the mentor for the North is the Arab World. Unfortunately, those two civilizations have been at loggerheads for sometime, and seem to move in opposite directions. As such, there can be no meaningful uniformity in association between the North and the South. Their belief systems are apart & parallel, and therefore cannot meet. Here lies the root of all the trouble Nigeria and other Nations with similar multiple belief systems have. Can two work together except they agreed? Amos 3:3.

ORGANISED CRIME!

they are building fears against those who would serve as inec officials and electorates on the oncoming elections because of the candidates they want to manipulate to win at the regions...something is telling me buhari working with ibb's advise oe instigations because ibb cannot confront and ginger them the way buhari could=high profile crime. i do not see the framework as the already existing boko haram, but if it is, then the government must have hands in their sponsors, so i say first arrest the either the state commissioner of police for not knowing his men too well, the state governor and adviser, and some evident sponsors also from gombe.What they have done is like the sudden mysterious heavy down pour of rain we get whenever there is serious elections, so that people reluctance is mystified for them to fill the ballot boxes by themselves...they try to alert fears, though there are fears, lodge electorate to be in state od duress in their making and possible attacks and from mixed-visible boko-haram members and their likes during the voting, but the one that happens now is like "A Scare magic".....ALWAYS REMEMBER MY CONTRIBUTIONS AND FILE THEM THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT...IT IS LIKE PROPHECY.

WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBIDDEN

Some comments here suggest that provision of education and employment will address this menace in the North. Fa fa fa foul. How do you provide western education to those saying it is forbidden by Allah [whatever that word means]. Did Moddibbo, that Fulani imbecile, not consent to the fact that Boko is Haram? Did Farida of the EFCC not agree with him? Otherwise how can you explain the monumental fraud committed by Moddibbo against his fellow cattle rearers when he single handedly converted the UBEC money to his personal and girlfriend's account with Farida looking the other way? By the way, did you not hear that a Commissioner in Borno State resigned and joined Boko Haram? What about the Engineers that 'hacked' all the Networks during the crisis rendering them ineffective? These guys are not illiterates as you are made to believe by the press. An Engineer and a grade one secretary with Oando Nig Plc, Maiduguri also resigned their appointment and joined BH. While the Secretary died in the crises, the Engineer fled to Jigawa State where he is residing at the moment. Was it because they were not educated or they were unemployed? The North has their own agenda. "Deceive them that when they die in Jihad, they will go to Anjenah(paradise) and you can use them to do any dirty job even at the cost of their lives" Unfortunately, this is working for the big Northerners.

YAAH WAAH!

So the chickens have finally come home to roost!. Over the years, the northern elites have held the nation to ransom, deliberately manufacturing miscreants and hoodlums who they unleash on other hapless Nigerians in the name of religion, but really, as means of political blackmail. Just as it is with the politicians (Odili& Co) in the South who armed the so-called militants and lost the control over them, the north is now graplling with the ferocity of their mass-produced almajiris and zealots. Imagine an Emir being fleeing to hide in a mosque, his tails behind him! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yaah waah!

You cannot be able to

You cannot be able to differentiate right from wrong. You are a fool.

Religious intolerance.

We are trapped in a vicious circle, composed of notions of superiority and inferiority..Of preconceptions, misconceptions of frustration and insecurity. Above all there is fear..It is fear that sets the religious moods..To break this vicious circle, we have to concentrate all our assaults upon these religious fears in all its forms. Hatred and intolerance are not innate in people, they are the offspring of fear, just as fear is the child of ignorance. Bottom line,,We need to engage in a massive and intensive education and orientation of our people to be a stake holder in our common destiny.

boko haran and unemployment

govt should put in place a criteria where all nigerians should have something doing and are being paid at the end of the month ranging from those who never attended school to the graduates on every street, it is only then will these crises end . and if any is found generating any form of crises he should be dealt with according to the law since he cannot complain of not having something doing. Remember an idol mind is devil's workshopour.

Is the hand of IBB and Buhari at play here?

When u call on them to host SNC, the pretend to be looking for the meaning in their ethnic dictionaries. So Bako Haram must hold power. Awo, Abiola and Ken SaroWiwa would not have suffered the way they did, if one of the ethnic groups in the South, had not given the Northern leaders the go ahead. Balewa never campaigned in the entire South for even a day. Yet was sworn in as our president. Today we have a unifyer in the person of Jonathan. But the same ideas that led to Balewa being installed as president, Awo jailed, Kensarowi hanged and Abiola murdered, are still there. If the North wants their progress to built around the ideas that Bako Haram represents, so be it. But not with the resources of the Niger Delta. Meaning its time for the 6 geo poli zones, to stop pretending as if all well, and calmly say goodbye to each other without pulling a gun.

northern politician are unpopular

nigeria has no democracy,northern politicians are the most unpopular in the world,none of them can socialy stand to be politicaly relivance without playing religion and power propaganda card and employing the service of islamic clerics and sultan of sokoto making a statement, hence the importance of boko harams, maitasine and so on in northern politics.

obasanjo will kick himself

obasanjo will kick himself even in the grave for supporting northern falsification of one nigeria, the only two political language of followership in the north is islam and we are in control and locationaly disadvantage to the south,they dont need to campaign on education and health and social facility to get votes, if not why is all the socalled northern elite are in PDP? no northern politician can claim to be socialy popular among their people like southern politicians that's why they find it very difficult
to close ranks
with any socialy orientated political parties and their more civil leaders from the south,Atiku Abubakar is a good example of power apprehensive northern politicians.in the case of boko harram, they're part of northern agenda and they can only grow in numbers and the membership are loose across many saharan states of north and central africa.

Gen. OJUKWU and Biafra Won the War

Nigeria is the big Loser,It depends on how one look at things,Just watch the drama unfold slowly.My Yeruba Brothers wrote about their command.
The question is, Who sent Awolowo to prison, Who killed Abiola,Who disgraced General Diya? answer these questions and at the end you will understand the meaning of Nigeria.I am British citizen who follows Nigerian Politics,for those from the South south, lets we forget,Who killed Saro Wiwa?

The fact about problem of boko haram

Assalamu alaikum, my dear Nigerian it is about Boko Haram but they way our honourable leaders are treating their followers in the country,because if federal, state and local government are taking care of student that have graduated from various institutions in the country, isha allahu wallahi there will be nothing like any crises in the my great country Nigeria. So please my advice to the government of Nigeria is to please take care of every citizen that graduate so that we will have peace in our country. Wassalam.

You and your type are more

You and your type are more dangerous than Boko Haram, am sure you are a kidnapper or bunckerer who is afraid of the no nonsense Buhari, the only person that can bring discipline in Nigeria, and the only solution to all sort of insecurity. Nigerians , shine your eyes, Jonathan could not, can not and will not. Vote Buhari for security and discipline.

The same way the mothers that

The same way the mothers that born kidnappers and militants will bear their nuisance abi?

Soldiers and police were

Soldiers and police were being drafted from the nearby city of Jos.
Meanwhile there is an army battalion with a barrack in Bauchi.
Maybe the Bauch police and soldiers were busy helping the Boko Haram on their mission.

The problems with northen

The problems with northen Nigeria begings with the fact that they have no religion of their own unlike in the west,east and south where they eventhough have the imported religions but still have that African religion that guide them , because they never throw away their natural religion and culture and there fore still have a baseline to stand upon , but the northern Nigeria have been striped naked and washed with [foreign]Arabia religion hence they are easily infested with any anything that comes out of their host .If you doubt me just wait and hear for example if the Arabs kill their king today then expect those in northern Nigeria to follow suit as from tomorrow because all they now do is copy and do and not copy-examine-cross check with your tradition-modify to work in your environment before acceptance

Remember Anini saga in Benin

Remember Anini saga in Benin some years back? Our security operatives especially the Police is polarised. Some are members of the Boko Haram sect and they are more loyal to the sect than the they are to the Nigerian State. Should I become a Local Govt Chairman in the South I would ensure that military training would be part of the curriculum for Primary to University level. Reason is that the North has already trained their youth in Gun handling. The next ten years shall never see us together. From the sixth year from now hence blood shall be the tar that would be used for our roads.

boko haram

naija shld break up make every bdy waka go ehm tent.these northern cows of bashan has also being a torn in the flesh.but dem no c say na dem go sufa pass 4 this country.people who profess regligion, shameeeeeeeeee.very backward stoneage mudafuckers.anyway,i jst pity my brodas wey dy that side.wateva,that is happening in this country is called the CONSEQUENCES of BIAFRA.Una neva c anything yet.

Sharia has nothing to do with this

What has this got to do with an entire culture. I am sure you were not brought up right yourself esle you wouldnt have said the thing you did. And please your being a carward, stop beating around the bush just say what you want to say.
People like you are the same set of people that invites more problems rather than quenching them, kindly keep your stupid accusation to yourself.

Have you forgotten that

Have you forgotten that Nigeria will break? Iam only sorry for the families that was involve in the killing and are alive witnessing how their love ones were killed in Jos.By tomorrow the next story will be politice and Nigerians will forget the Boko Harrams.Jonathan who are you fooling as the president l can only call your name as the rest of the goverment is under you.PLS DO SOMTHING

SATANIC VERSES THAT IT IS

@BOORTZ: The fear is yours and the action is his. Terry Jones does not need your consent to do what he wants to do. America is not a lawless country. Jones knows that he would not be breaking any law by burning the Qu'ran. Point of correction; Jones is not burning just a copy of the Qu'ran but as many copies of it he can lay hands on. He has asked people of like mind to send copies to him and I just sent 49 copies. What are you waiting for?

Well said Sani Bello & Rommel

Boko Haram is a result of 50 years of misrule. Some SR readers who live in America fall for this neo con bullshit that somehow any muslim fighting for his rights is a fundamentalist who hates Christians and the west. Boko Haram has no concern about the south except to the extent that they see it as harbouring moral decadence and personal corruption. The south of Nigeria has its own Boko Haram - cultists in the southwest, armed robbers and kidnappers in the rest of the south. They're worse terrorists than Boko Haram. The decadent and immoral version of Christianity practised in Nigeria means it has no strength and is about to be wiped out. I have no problem with Boko Haram as long as they only punish the corrupt and vile elite and leave ordinary Nigerians alone.
Whether we like it or not, the moral decadence in Nigeria can only be cured by a revolution along the lines of Libya & Iran. We all run off to Dubai to enjoy its delights. How do we think they created this? By having a zero tolerance of immorality and crime. This is what Boko Haram in their own way are trying to achieve. We should ask how many supporters they have in the army and other high places in Nigeria.

Boko Haram enjoys popular support

If the Boko Haram poeple had confined thier attack to the Government and not innocent christians and muslims like thier fellows bothers and sisters fighting for the struggle in the west and east had done, they will enjoy popular mass support.

roll out the drums

Yet they are rolling out drums to celebrate 50 years of failure in all levels of governance, yet people like buhari and ibb who stole the money for these people education are roaming free. Shame! Shame! Shame! No security, No power, No Portable water, No good roads, No food, No well equipped hospitals and schools. What do we have alimajiris that can protect themselves better than the Nigerian Police and political looters emptying the treasury. Hurray! Nigeria is 50.
