| Nigeria Arrests 200 after Attacks, Mostly Chadians |
| 2012-01-27 |
| [An Nahar] Nigeria has made some 200 arrests after last week's bombings and shootings in the city of Kano, with most of those jugged Chadian "mercenaries", a senior police source said Thursday. "Many arrests have been made since the attacks," the police source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly following Friday's attacks that killed at least 185 people. "We have locked away around 200 attackers and 80 percent of them are Chadians. They came in as mercenaries." The source alleged there had been indications the Chadians were paid to participate in the attacks attributed to Islamist group Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. Currently wearing a false nose and moustache and answering to Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, or Big Louie... However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... Nigerian authorities have come under immense pressure over the spiraling violence blamed on the Islamists and have in the past been accused of rounding up innocent civilians in response to attacks. According to the source, suspected members of Boko Haram have reached out to the police for potential dialogue, with the emir of Kano as mediator. The emir is the most important traditional leader in Kano. "They said they want the emir to mediate in the dialogue they proposed," the source said. |
