Explosion In Bauchi Township Attributed To Faulty Electric Power Transformer As Police Confirm Attacks On Tafawa Balewa and Katagun

By SaharaReporters, New York

Eyewitnesses at the JIBWIS conference in Bauchi township now add that the three loud explosions heard overnight ion in the city was as a result of a faulty electric transformer that blew up close to the JIBWIS conference center.

Saharareporters had contacted the Commissioner of police in the state directly as citizen reporters affiliated to SR told they heard the explosions.

The CP responded to our inquiries by saying there was a bomb explosion on a railway line in Bauchi Township, apparently it wasn't a bomb as previously reported.

However, there were two separate attacks in Tafawa Balewa LGA and Lamar Katagun in the state.

Correction: In our earlier report wrote that JIBWIS was founded by late not Sheikh Ja'afar Adams but members of the group said JIBWIS was originally founded by Late Sheik Samaila Idris

Please use paid adverts for your Courses

Please do not use this medium for all these unworthy courses from your university. I think the university authority should know better. What a way to advert University of Ibadan. Are you so poor as to advertise your courses. Sahara reporters please TAKE THIS ADVERT AND FUTURE ADVERTS DOWN

So you believe network news

So you believe network news

Two Explosions in Bauchi

Actually there were TWO separate explosions, One from the faulty Electricity Transformer and the second from a cache of explosives used for quarry blasting none was an intentioal explosion.
The worrying aspect is just how the Police have become utterly halpless in this whole issue. The nation has to investigate the cause(s) of this catastrophic failure by a principal law Enforceement Agency given their "bravery" when faced with 'Captured' suspects such as the APO-6!!

What kind of human are u? You

What kind of human are u? You had beta apologize to all the muslims and my fellow christains pls stop trading insults online. Its unfortunate what you just did. May God forgive you!

Boko haram

The so called boko haram are not muslims becaus islam never allow distruction

BAUCHI BOMBING

The Nigerian Police are so confused and disorganized that they cannot differentiate between a bomb and electric power explosion. Now tell me, how can we trust the police for the protecting the lives of the Nigerian masses?

i dont think so

What we have now show the insensitivity of the security agency and GEj let government. The president made it very clear that the said boko haram or what ever they call this evil minded individual are rite in his cabinet and the various security agencies if he can fish out this individual I think this will create a starting point for the total eradication of this whole security challenges currently facing the country.

Correction!!!

I heard on network news just now. Police bomb experts confirmed it was a local bomb made from materials used in surface blasting in mining. So SR, get the facts right and give your readers a correct idea of what's going on.

mumu people mumu sense

@ebele who told you that what is happening now is the work of foreigners.if i may ask are the west who started the killing in the north from 1958 till date? pls if you doesn't know history just keep your mouth shout fool like you.

@EBELE DAVID,KEEP RUNNING AWAY FROM REALITY,

The boko-haram is a Hausa-fulani based,jihadi terrorist group,sponsored 100% by elements of the political and moslem ruling class with the sole aim of ensuring the domination of Nigerian politics and imposing the will of the northern oligachy on the whole country.This has nothing to do with white guys,stop the stupidity and face reality,you can sell your cock and bull stories to the almajeries on your streets in the north,but dont try to insult our intelligence by insinuating that the west is responsible,why have you not even mentioned the Iranian government who were caught smuggling a large amount of weapons into Nigeria.Your real name is not Ebele David,you are a northern moslem,keep decieving yourself.

FELLOW NIGERIANS PLEASE THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND SHINE YOUR EY

People like Ebele think outside the box. Disasters that occurs in Nigeria we keep blaming each other Dis is exactly wat those who want to see this country break rembr d US predicted d collapse of Nigeria soon and hey, its happening. Mr Belgore in a speech said there was a plan to destabilize Nigeria n Congo cus of the Resources n Potentials we have. If anyone thinks Boko Haram is killing d southerners or christians in the North well you can see what happened in Kano,etc most of the casualties are from the North and muslims. Question if they are fighting for the sake of Islam or the North then why are there Northerners and Muslims among the victims. I strongly believe our govt isnt doing enuff cuz some of the members are caught is it that our security personals dont have d special interrogation techniques 2 question the suspects? This people use the banks can't we trace them? they use the mobile phones can't we trace them with the satellite sent to orbit? So many unanswered questions

Stop blaming the west; blame the Koran...gaskiya ne!

@Ebele David, you should shut up your stinking mouth you Boko Haram apologist using a false name. You are blaming the west for the evils of Islam and Koran? So pathetic! You said you needed Sharia law, we said have it; you said you needed Islamic banking-have it as well. Now those are not enough, now you want all Nigerians to join you in your hell bound cult. Your kunu head have been used by the blood thirsty paedophile Muhammad. Keep destroying your region and blame the west and GEJ. At the end, we will definitely separate and you will use funding from Afghanistan to rebuild your Boko Haram region. Or better still, you will beg the west for help to re-build, shameless set of people. If you want someone to blame, blame the Koran. Look at what it has done to Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Afganistan, Pakistan, and Iraq etc. You can then compare to USA, UK, France, Israel, India, China, Ghana etc. These countries have one thing in common…. They hate the Kopran with a passion.

THE SHOOTERS ARE NOT NIGERIANS

Well done Mr. E David, this is the way Nigerians should be thinking rather than casting aspersions on majority of peace loving people from a certain section of this beloved nation.We have to be conscious of our security to enable us track those who want to destroy us rather than being busy apportioning blames only to be condoled later when they might have wrecked their dastardly acts on our people

Foreigners

Looking at was happened, definitely we are dealing with foreign forces. What are connections between immigration and police/military that BH decided to kill immigrations? Because they closed the borders and trying to prevent them from entering our country.

Mr Jonathan all these are

Mr Jonathan all these are happening under your watch, if you have no clue on how to contain this unnessesary grave distraction, then you must reconsider your position as President and commander of the armed forces. At the rate this catastrophy is happening there may be no Nigeria at the end of the year. This year will turn out to be our anus horribilis.

Electrical Explosion in Bauchi

How can we be very sure that the transformers were not blown up by Boko-Haram members. Please verify and let us know soon.

Nigeria your time is up.

What General Ojukwu foresaw over 40 years ago is what we are experiencing today. Nigeria, ur time is up. Hail Biafra.

MOSLEMS: VOLATILE NORTH AND PEACEFUL SOUTH.

IT WILL DO NIGERIANS FROM EVERY REGION OF THE POLITY A GREAT DEAL OF GOOD TO UNANIMOUSLY AGREE TO DISAGREE(peacefully) ON ONE NIGERIA AND MOVE ON INDEPENDENTLY, AS THE BOKO HARAM HAVE STRONGLY INITIATED, WHEN THEY EXPELLED SOUTHERNERS AND CHRISTIANS FROM THE HAUSA/FULANI FIEFDOM. THERE ARE MOSLEMS IN THE SOUTH OF NIGERIA TOO, BUT, THEY ARE NOT UP IN ARMS AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS; AND VICE VERSA. WHY MUST THE HAUSA/FULANI ACT AND FEEL INDEPENDENTLY FROM OTHER MOSLEMS IN NIGERIA?

HOW LONG SHALL WE CONTINUE TO DITHER AND REMAIN COMPLACENT OVER OUR CLEAR-CUT DIFFERENCES AND PARALLEL CULTURAL AND ETHNIC IDENTITIES??. THERE ARE MOSLEMS IN THE SOUTH OF NIGERIA. THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN UP ARMS AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS OR AGAINST THE NORTHERNERS, FOR THAT MATTER; AND VICE-VERSA. WHY MUST THE HAUSA/FULANI THINK AND ACT DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER MOSLEMS IN NIGERIA???

Paradise or Hell, Your choice.

When will Nigerians wake up to the fact that Nigeria is Paradise on earth? The current state of anarchy is ridiculous.

Please examine closely the situation of Malaysia. A modern multi ethnic country. Why Malaysia? Became independent at the same time as Nigeria. Equally blessed with multiple natural resources. Yes Malaysia has also overcome the evil of corruption.

Nigerians wake up & claim your birthright for the sake of the future, your children future.

THE SHOOTERS ARE NOT NIGERIANS

Any body on his senses can now asses that the security challenges facing our great nation is the hand work of people that destroyed IRAQ, LIBYA, SOMOLIA ETC because the events and photographs of the shooters now in circulation on UTUBE, BB etc clearly indicated the hand of foreigners. Nigeria is today blessed with abundant natural and human resources which when greatly harnessed can make the country become the envy of the west. I SUGGEST we Nigerians must wake up to the challenges by exposing these people operating in the name of Boko Haram, Hausas etc
