Police confirm escape of Christmas Day bomber

The Nigerian police two days ago confirmed that the alleged Boko Haram member and the mastermind of the Christmas Day bombing at St Theresa’s Catholic Church that killed over 40 people, Mr Madala, Kabiru Sokoto, who was arrested and detained for the killings, has escaped from police custody.

The suspect, who was arrested last week inside a Borno State Government lodge, allegedly escaped while he was being led to his residence in Abaji, near Abuja. Police claim that the security team escorting the suspect were attacked by youths suspected to be members of Boko Haram in Abaji. 

Following the escape, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Zonal Criminal Investigation Department at Zone 7, Police Command Headquarters, Mr. Zakari Biu, was suspended.

Yimu. Like they are not all involved in the scheme. *Hiss*

President Jonathan should now pause at this juncture and re-examine the whole issue once again and decide within himself, what chemistry he will need to push the nation on.
Evidently, he must be aware that, there are lot of enemies within who are hell-bent to destabilize his govt and should seek advice from the outside on what he can do rather than seeking internal advice that will not bring the desired help he really needed.
A situation whereby Boko-Haram followed the IG before Force Headquarter was bombed and the assailants are yet prosecuted offered a real food for thought !
With this new development on escape of Christmas day bombing suspect, i think he better prepare his mind for the worst- in view of the on-going political impasse.
Late Ojukwu in his maiden speech to the Biafran nation in 1967 postulates that “Great nations of the world have broken into units on religious intolerance”
Hope this is not the moment in Nigerian history!

It is unfortunate that the PDP lead government of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has continued to kill innocent Nigerians and foreigners trough their thugs a.k.a BOKO HARAM (JONA HARAM). This explains the governments indifference to the killings and support to the killers. My prayer is for Nigerians to realize that the perpetrators of these killings are in government and very close to government just as indicated by the president himself last week.
GOD WILL PUNISH ALL OF THEM AND THE BLOOD BEEN SHED WILL BE ON THEIR HEADS AND THAT OF THEIR DECENDANTS. AMEN

They leave a dangerous terrorist in the hands of the police to look after and they send the army unto the streets to combat peaceful protesters. What a government! What a president! Confused? Or simply deliberate?

i dont need a soothsayer to tell me,they planned it as usual..whatever...

They should tell that to the birds. They allowed the guy go and now they are telling us he escaped. I cant believe this and I know Nigerians wont buy this lie. Pls the Nigerian police should tell us something else. I also think this is another reason to protest becos if we keep keeping quiet as they allow criminals to get away, it means that none of us is safe anywhere in the country.

Another version of 24 produced in Naija. is Jack Bauer aware of it?

mmamma said...

yeah right...like they didnt help him escape. all these are principalities in high places, lets pray bout this boko haram issue more than we talk bout it. pple pls say a prayer a day concerning boko haram.

They must be foolish to think that they can fool us. Even a 2 year old would know there is something fishy

hairfruit said...

Ah this is pathetic. Some police really lack security intelligence. They need to go back school to acquire more knowledge. It is a pity this is happening in Nigeria. They should just change αll their loopholes across the countries before potential criminals take advantage of their foolishness. What a negligence. God is my utmost security.

The only thing you mumu nigerians can do about this is abuse, shout God and abuse. Is it not true? AWON ODE! This animal killed 40 nigerians and escaped from the police while in their custody...so, why is the police commissioner still breathing? The next terrorist victim could be you directly or indirectly. In a corrupt society, the only successful way forward is to fight fire with fire. We will all die someday, at least bow out while trying to make a better change to society.
I said occupy nigeria would not last but was even more suprised about how it swiftly ended, just because soldiers were deployed on the streets...useless cowards, you probably thought revolution is some sort of designer.
Linda, please write a blog about the lives of the heroes that died because of the protest...they are the best of nigerians.

Who are they fooling. First the suspected bomber was arrested in a government house of all places. Their complicity is very clear for all to see. The police have been bribed to release the bomber. This shows that influential figures are behind this Boko Haram nonsense. They are incrementally pushing this country to religious chaos and unfortunately we have an inept and cowardly president who has no idea how to tackle the situation and bring to book the masterminds. I think only God knows how this chapter in the history of Nigeria will play out.

the BH must have threatened the inspector with the wiping out of his family.

@Atobatele: the man has destabilized his government by himself, he didnt need the help of outsiders. he is a moron who doesnt know his left from right, i mean, look out the policies who proposed from day one became officially the president - a term of 6yrs, fuel subsidy removal without adequate planning and now he has turned to a tyrant. A president with the armed forces of nigeria at his disposal and all other security agencies, but cant find the leaders or sponsors of boko haram but comes out to openly admit that the terrorist group has infiltrated even his govt. Is that the action of a wise man or a FOOL??? He has sabotaged his government by himself, without the help of those who threatened to make the country ungovernable

SERIOUSLY? What a story.

I blame the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar. He's the one who goes out of his way to ensure that Islamic terrorist continue to escape justice. The Sultan of Sokoto is a devious and evil man. He is among the chief sponsors of Boko Haram.

Yeah right he 'escaped' my arse! I wonder if it had been a Christian who bombed 5 churches on one of Islams holiest days if he would even a) be alive till today b) if he would have ' escaped' from police custody..
GEJ can threaten his critics with treason all his wants but there is NO DENYING his govt. (so far) has been nothing but a failure!!! #occupynigeria

If it is to shoot innocent people playing football, the bastards know how to do that!!

Escaped indeed. they mean they let him out.

god go settle this matter for us. Starting with deleting out all aiders and abetters in the matter.

How did he end up in the state house anyway. it means sponsorship is coming from there.

Jona will not see this one. If it is to role tanks on people seeking their rights, he sill start flexing muscle

So in their mind, they have released news *hiss* Abegi!It's not only "escaped". They should have told us a mysterious bird flew down and carried him away while he protested that he wanted to serve his sentence, or that he turned into a goat and slipped through the bars. THAT would have been news.

Must u blame evrytn on Jonathan?
Don't u hv anytn better 2 do than calling him names?
If ur stew burns on d stove, blame it on Jonathan. If ur son fails his exams bcos he's a dunce, blame it on Jonathan. If ur wife sleeps wt ur landlord, blame GEJ, who else?
Go get a life pls.

MY Dear brothers and sisters, isnt it funny how Boko Haram hasnt set off any bombs since the onset of this Subsidy palaver. This to me just reiterates how badly the government has failed us as Boko Haram is definately nothing short of the more aggressive way of Striking at the Nigerian Govt' just as we all took to the streets this past week. To end most of our security problems and to make for a better Nigeira, i strongly feel that we a real Govt that stands for the people and not only for themselves.
Nigeria is the Greatest Country i know, God help us to all see it actualise to its full potential.

Hmmmm! This one pass Micheal Scofield prison break! JIZOZ!!!! Who do these pple think they are fooling?!!!!

I cannot believe this Zakari Biu character is still around. This guy is satanic to say the least. He is the most anti-South anti-Christian you can find in the Nigeria Police force. Anyone who knows anything of Alagbon in those days will confirm this.

The Governor has apologized to the President. Army officer name remains hidden. They have released the prisoner. All as expected.
IMMUNITY CLAUSE for the office occupying thugs and their street equivalents (who could spill the beans under duress).

Omar Omar said...

Zakari Biu would lead the security agencies to Boko Haram sponsors and other members if the Government is really serious about curbing this menace. Zakari Biu coordinated the whole ambush and escape.
