  1. The police authorities claimed the explosion in apapa was from an LPG plant as against the reports that the explosion was an attack by a suicide bomber by an eye witness. Now that shekau has come out openly to claim responsibility, I wonder where the police will say they got their information from.

  2. Funny. Award winning cartoon of the century. Who the heck is this phony with a face like a kangaroo? “I” baba! “I” who did you & your zombie employers thought you are fooling? Make u na go siddon, Shekau? Boko Haram? ” The Jonathans, who una tink sey una bi sef? Black liars.
