[AnNahar] Two men have been juggedYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in connection with a suicide boom-mobileing in the northern Nigerian city of Kano that killed four, police said on Tuesday. "Two suspects are now in jug in connection with Sunday's bombing in Sabon Gari," Kano police front man Musa Magaji Majia told Agence La Belle France Presse. Majia said the pair were arrested by people at a bus station in the city that was previously attacked by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... gunnies after they overheard them talking about the bombing. "They were apprehended and the cop shoppe there alerted, which led to their arrest and transfer to the police headquarters," he added. The authorities have not said who was responsible for the blast, which destroyed the Middle Road area of a predominantly Christian district at about 10:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Sunday. The area is a popular entertainment haunt because of its many roadside bars and restaurants. Boko Haram, which is waging a violent insurgency in northern Nigeria, is suspected of setting off a series of bombs in July last year. But others have suggested a political motive to the bombing after the main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) routed the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in local elections Saturday. |
