The idiot should be killed….but you know in nigeria, things work upside-down,….mmmhu, am afraid.
The problem we are facing in Nigeria is the political will to prosecute these terrorist.Gej wake up
Tank god for dat as for the man day should not killd him yet thay should make him talk may be he might give some valuable information and also his gang
Shal we continue kilin one anoda like animals? Bombers must u kill to achieve ur aim? After kilin al den who wil b d nigerians of tomoro?
They said Muslims are the Terrorist , and look now the caught a Christian Trying to Bomb our Ministers #Smh
Habba!! Jama,a this animal na boko haram too ?. Pls nigerians let us be sincere to our self,and realise the truth matter of our problems.
Well it has always been our prayer that God should expose those who are behind terrorism in Nigeria, but the question is there is a lesson to learn again, the john in question is not a muslim now people refuse to comment because of sentiment and bias, well be that as it may, i‘m of the opinion that the present face of Boko Haram is not thesame as it started in Borno state now it seems to have political dynamics, and individuals are now using the name for there own selfish interest so i am of the opinion that there should be a serious investigation and if found guilty sentence to death, no excuse GOD HELP NIGERIA
so u want to tell the world that this man belong to islamic sect!? But remember the man come from south and his a christian.
The truth is that muslims are expacts in terorism because they have the manual(Q),they grow in it,and have vowd to die any time any where.Compared to some one who have not started terorism from infant.So if muslims wants thier terorism to be moving fine,they should stop using money to buy some 1 that doesn’t knw what terorism manual is all about.And as for you john,i wish u will b killed,so as to go and meet alqeeda leader in hell.foolish fool how much u r been paid dat makes u go contrary to bible?
We thank God for d vigilant security men. Try and be careful in handling that man. C how u can get useful information frm him. He shd be well secured,so that he is not killed to stop hm frm giving useful information. He must hv bn used out of his greed to make quick money,not counting d consequences first. High quality of intelligence shd be applied in this case. It shd be handled maturedly. These ministers would have been killed by now. He must hv bn promised a lot of things. He is very unwise.
Tnk God, the truth is gradually coming out, i know dat d Southerners are behind all these killings and bombing in d North in order 2 weaken our political and capabilities but they wil neva achieve their desire by GOD grace. Up d North!
He should b killed,no second tot plsssss,its rite time 9igeria force show exampl to dis Boko tins
Since they are gradually getting caught, i believe with time they soon banish. Let’s respect d rule of law and take ds bastard to court so dt he’ll face d wrath of his action.
Atleast, the true identities of the BH are gradually coming out. Allah said my religion(Islam) will be protected by me. May Allah keep revealing day by day
I now realise that the boko set are not all muslim pple as we presume althought they had a group some times in the past that are of religious extrimist. Ibo, yoruba and any tribe can be boko member as they can be paid money on that evil assignment. Just like hiired assasin employd to kill somebody innocently. Govt should not play polities over this to get to the root.
@sagirwase its high time u be arrested for more nformation on this mayhem.
How dare u make such a useless comment. Up rubbish.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz all of u saying God is exposing southeners, Who re d terrorist? who started terrorism??? Dnt u think dat dez senseless muslim militants ve tot for a way of disguising der true nature knwing dat d world hs undastud n is aware dat muslims re terrorist so de try to confuse d world by using daibolical means on non muslims to succumb to d terrorism manners lik hw de used John.. Look @ his face does he seem be be in his right senses!!!!!! Y? Re we Nigerians being so deceived by our government we re bussy killing ourselves to d benefit of some big belled Nigerians… muslims stop Fighting Christians cos we re 1 Nigeria else I see No future in Nigeria as 1..if we continue dis way 1 day we shall wake up n tell our children dat der ws a country called Nigeria!!!!
One funny thing about nigeria z dat when any case of bombing crops up,we nigerians try to shy away 4rm d truth,if nt d fact!! Hu told christians that its only muslim that bomb?let’s shun all this pretence and face the fact,we dont love one another. If we do,i dnt c any reason we shouldnt appreciate gud things..if they av caught d man,gud 4 our nation..shun d sentiments abegi…God bless Nigeria…
