FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
It identified the bomber as Umaru Mustapha, from Maiduguri in Borno state, the
home of Boko Haram in the remote northeast of Africa’s most populous nation.
Later in the day, authorities reported another explosion in Kaduna. There were
no further details.
Boko Haram, whose name means “Western education is sinful”, has not
previously targeted the press in its bombings. Last October, the sect killed
a reporter for state-run television who it said was an informant.
Boko Haram has been fighting a low level insurgency for more than two years
and has become the main security menace in Africa’s top oil producer. Most
attacks have been in the largely Muslim north, well away from the southern
oilfields.
This Day angered Muslims a decade ago when one of its columnists suggested the
Prophet Mohammad might have wanted to marry a beauty queen. At least one
hundred people were killed in ensuing riots.
President Jonathan, in Ivory Coast for talks with other West African leaders
on a crisis in Mali, said in a statement the attacks on This Day were “misguided,
horrendous and wicked.”
“The President urged media practitioners not to be dissuaded from
carrying out their fearless campaign for peace, justice and equity, as
democracy cannot flourish without press freedom,” the statement from
his media adviser said.
In August last year, Boko Haram carried out a suicide car bombing at the
United Nations building in Abuja that killed 25 people and prompted a
ramp-up in security measures.
At the scene of the Abuja blast on Thursday, sirens wailed as police and fire
fighters rushed in. Smoke billowed from the building, whose windows were all
smashed.
Soldiers and police cordoned off the area, while emergency workers evacuated
wounded on stretchers to waiting ambulances.
“The suicide bomber came in a jeep and rammed a vehicle into the gate,”
said Olusegun Adeniyi, chairman of the This Day editorial board. “Two
of our security men died, and obviously the suicide bomber died too.”
This Day’s publisher, Nduka Obaigbena, is a celebrity in Nigeria and puts on
music, art and fashion events in cities in around the world.
