BLOODY WEDNESDAY IN NIGERIA
Hello Nigeria, it was indeed a sad
day for our country Nigeria as series of attacks were carried out by the wicked
ones against innocent citizens. This was very unusual because it happened in
several states in a single day. The sad day started with the news that over 123
were feared killed in an onslaught on some villages in Sanga Local Government
Area of Kaduna state by Fulani herdsmen. We were like; ok this is ‘every week
news’ in Nigeria and everyone was eager waiting for 5pm to come so that we
would watch our super eagles take on Argentina when we got another news of a
bomb attack at a very busy shopping plaza in the federal capital territory,
Abuja killing 27 and injuring several others. Before we could even get details
of the bomb blast in Abuja, another bomb blast was reported at a crowded market
in Mubi town, Adamawa state killing one person and injuring three others.
Our
blood went cold and our hearts broken as Argentina ran away with a 3-2 victory
over our eagles. That was not even all, we heard about an explosion at a gas
plant in Lagos causing more fears in our already frightened hearts. In response
it was reported that President Goodluck Jonathan concealed his A.U summit trip
to come back and attend to this security challenges. But sadly enough, that was
not enough to stop the boko haram insurgents from attacking and killing 16
soldiers at a military check point in Borno state.
That
was how the Wednesday turned out to be a bloody one. But then I ask myself, where
do we go from here?
