Serial Bombing: Boko Haram, MASSOB, NIGER DELTA< AMNESTY AND SECURITY SYSTEM

Just like every other of their attack, the character was the same. Yet they took the security operative again unaware. Before we could shout in shock, they were bold enough to identify themselves – BOKO HARAM!

They stroked in Bauchi first then Jos, Kano, Sokoto two years ago and infiltrated into many other Northern towns. But what they left in the few days of their war on the innocent, who finally became Christians or Southern, was death in large numbers, destruction of private and public properties and leaving everyone else confused. As is usually expected, all militia would claim responsibility for their act and give whatever seems reasonable as explanation for their act. But this group told the world that their main trust is their hatred for western education. Nigerians watched if the leaders would come to immediate rescue, the world watched also, but as expected the government all various level paid deaf ears and pretended as if nothing happened. The press shouted hoax and within weeks everyone went back to the status quo as if nothing ever was amiss. That was two years ago.

After successive activities in other parts of the northern states including Borno where they seem to now reside, the other week, they dared the Federal Capital city of Abuja and the very office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP)! It was a bloody yet successful (by their standard) adventure no matter how it is dressed or described. With series of deaths and several vehicles burnt beyond description, what else did they need to make a bold statement that terrorism has arrived Nigeria? Now the presidency and all arm of government are restlessly tinkering new ideas and methodology to use in quashing the mayhem. Can we succeed?

So much have been written and documented about the exploit of Islamic Fundamentalist in Nigeria. It is very painful that despite all efforts, despite series of warnings and despite the fact that most of the leaders of the gang are well known to/by the very security agencies which are at the receiving end each time, all the groups have continued to go scot free because our system prefer pretence to dealing with issues. And so, after years of destruction a governor is suggesting that the group which wants everybody to embrace illiteracy should be granted amnesty as was done to Niger Delta Militants. Are the two cases similar?

They were officially designated as" Colt's Double-Action Revolver, Caliber .45, Model of 1909". The marking "U.S. ARMY MODEL 1909, No (Serial Number)" The serial number marked on the butt was the same number as was stamped under the crane on the receiver as well as on the crane.
