SaharaReporters has learned that a bomb carefully hidden under a plant in front of Park 'N Shop at Sheriff Shopping Plaza in Wuse II, Abuja, has exploded. 

 
There were no casualties and no damage in the explosion, which occurred near the Banex Plaza, but a recharge card seller was reportedly injured.  A police source also told Saharareporters a second bomb was found and safely detonated in the area.

In a statement, police spokesman Frank Mba confirmed the incident.  He said that a team of policemen led by the FCT police commissioner Aderenle Shinaba and soldiers had put up barricades around the scene, with nobody allowed in except the search and rescue team of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

“FCT Police are continuing with their intensive overt and surveillance patrols of the city and wishes to reassure the residents of the police preparedness to continue to provide a safe and secured environment for social and economic activities to thrive unhindered,” he said.

The statement also warned “mischief makers,” in their own interest to “keep off the city or have themselves to blame as the long arm of the law will soon catch up with them.”

Below is the statement from the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja:
"Today 3rd July 2012 at about 9:30 pm, a low level explosion went off somewhere along Aminu Kano Crescent, near Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja. A crack police team led by the Commissioner of Police in charge of FCT Command- CP Aderenle Shinaba- responded to the distress call, arriving the scene few minutes after the incident. The incident had a zero casualty record- no life lost, no person injured and no car damaged or burnt. Detectives from the Bomb Disposal Unit, assisted by their counterparts from FCT CID have commenced investigation. FCT Police are continuing with their intensive overt and surveillance patrols of the city and wishes to reassure the residents of the police preparedness to continue to provide a safe and secured environment for social and economic activities to thrive unhindered. Meanwhile, mischief makers are in their own interest warned to keep off the city or have themselves to blame as the long arm of the law will soon catch up with them...."

BOMBING EXPLOSIONS

Most of the comments you read all over the place are being written by faceless CIA covert agents, who pretend to be Nigerians discussing Nigerian problems. These faceless CIA operatives have perfected how to represent the various Nigerian campaigns, using some funny Nigerian names to disguise themselves while communicating as if they were Nigerians. This way, they are simply keeping the process of dividing Nigeria in full course.
But they will never succeed in dividing Nigeria by 2015 as they are working toward.

Insecurity

They should first of first, ask our leaders in northern part to use their black hair to count their future whit hair.they are the black sheep of the Haram's

Blind passion

What is the problem with xtianity and islam?the xtian crusaders of old slaughtered muslims and vice versa. I am yet to see people of other faiths like the buddist,eckist,ifa or ogun worshippers kill or maim others because of their religion.to think of it,both religions project 99.9 per cent jewish and arabian history.they should be left to fight their battle.africans have no stake and bussiness in it.

Abdul, you have lost your

Abdul, you have lost your mind and may God deliver you and others like you from the spirit of delusion. You said all muslims believe in Jesus, but as a messenger, says who? Jesus presented himself clearly to us in the bible as the saviour of sinners; showing us, sinners how to get back to God. He spent his entire life doing good and destroying the works of the devil (healing, blessing, raising the dea, teaching about God, heaven, love, repentance from evil works etc). To you, mohammed (S.A.W)who killed so many people and taught followers to kill, and are still killing, qualifies to be a prophet!! Come on, let's face it, you, just like other muslims have been deceived, are lost and need salvation for your souls. This is not about religion, it is about your souls. My heart is crying for you as am writing this. Please,You need Christ in your lives. Simple.

You are very correct my

You are very correct my brother its time we identify who the real enemies are.
I am a christian and I have had the opportunity of living with muslims, no muslim that practice the teachings of the koran will openly slaughter the young and the defensless. It is a religion of peace. Otherwise how else can you explain the definition of neighbour in the koran to mean people that lives 40 houses to the east, west, north and south and that these neighbour should be treated the same way you will want others to treat you.
Above all these it is a practical religion.
We should not give in to the manupulations of miscrant leaders who want to use us to achieve aim of corruption and looting.

Shut up, you better hide your

Shut up, you better hide your ignorance no muslim and i repeat no muslim will ever say anything bad about any prophet the way you did because that will automatically denouce his faith.
You better search your dictionary for a word "confusion theory" may be you'll be out of your dark age mind; i have the believe that very soon God will expose you people as if all day is for a thief one day is for the owner. A word they said is enough for a wise- are you one of them?

watch your movement daily

check the news and watch your movement daily. I found this site which updates news by location www.nigerianpro.com/news ... lets be careful about latenight activities too...

Shut up, you better high your

Shut up, you better high your ignorance no muslim and i repeat no muslim will ever say anything bad about any prophet the way you did because that will automatically denouce his faith.

I think someone has pointed

I think someone has pointed this out before. Was the other bomb found detonated or defused? For those who don't know, to detonate a bomb is to cause it to explode while to defuse a bomb is prevent it from exploding. So, what actually happened with the second bomb?

Bad belle INTERNET RATS

Bad belle INTERNET RATS go die of self inflicted HYPERTENSION &STROKE. They have criticised EVERYTHING about GEJ: the way he walks, his hand shake, his looks, his hat, his dressing, his actions, his under wear, his wife(Patience), his children, his eyes, his nose, his feces, his party, his ministers, his words, his VICTORY, his SUCCESS,etc Wetin remain for bad belle INTERNET RATS to criticise? Bad belle FOOLS don develop hypertension &stroke from SELF INFLICTED task of criticising GEJ. GEJ has told these RATS, and rightly so, that HE DOESNT GIVE A DAMN. These RATS have learnt nothing from the 2011 elections & subsequent bye-elections. Despite the 'HARD WORK' of a few INTERNET RATS on this forum, who unleashed barrage of criticisms of GEJ & PDP, GEJ coasted home to electoral victory. Again despite the DEMONISATION of PDP on this forum, the party won all the bye-elections conducted since 2011 in Kogi, Adamawa, Kebbi,etc The few INTERNET RATS that survive will watch GEJ rule Nig till 2019

Nigeria is too great a nation to be divided by illiterate terrorists

If so, we shall be the joke of the entire continent and beyound

We shall overcome, think of all the young that died in the days of Biafra to keep Nigeria one.

ARMY SHOULD TAKE OVER

Nigerians are tired of dying like fowls. Army should take over. Detain all elected politicians(LG, STATE & FED). No blood shed. Declare emergency. And commence massive infra structural revolution on ROADS, ELECTRICITY, HOUSING & WATER for 4 years, bring Nigeria at par with other developed Nations. Cancel Presidential System for Parliamentary. Prime Minister 5 year single term to rotate through 6 regions. Conduct free & fair election and hand over, total 5 years.

big lier

Your religion never thought you to respect other religions but kill the unbelievers. Go and read the quran well ma boy

Point of correction

For how long will innocent Nigerians keep suffering from this Useless Sect called BH, every time this debate comes up the Muslims claims the BH are not part of them if they are not part of your people did they come from outer space, how come all attacks are targeted on Christan alone , and not the Muslims .... please u should stop misinforming Nigerians and call a spade a spade .........

Boko haram God is on your

Boko haram God is on your case ,this group will be expose from the sponsors to the least person in the group , useless group Come out and state your case if you have the mind ..........

You make an excellent point on the state of our 'security' agencies. Perhaps if more funds were chanelled into recruiting, training and paying suitable security personnel then things would be better? Sigh.
