Maiduguri suicide attacks: Shettima summons markets, ‎motor parks, shopping centers for emergency security meeting

Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima has summoned officials of all markets, motor parks, shopping complexes, football fields and other places of public gatherings in Maiduguri, for an emergency security meeting with heads of security agencies and the civilian JTF.

The meeting, which is expected to take place on Monday at the Government House in Maiduguri, was in response to twin suicide attacks at the Maiduguri Monday market on Sunday morning which resulted in the death of three, including the two suicide attackers, and 18 persons sustaining various degrees of injuries.

Governor Shettima visited the scene of ‎the suicide attacks around the market and was at the accident and emergency ward of the Maiduguri Specialist Hospital where he met each of the survivors out of which 3 were undergoing emergency surgery at the hospital's theater.

The suicide attacks were carried out by two women in two close spots, both outside the Maiduguri Monday market before 10am, said the Borno State Commissioner of Police, Damien Chukwu who received Shettima at the scene. The said one person died, aside the two suicide bombers, with 18 persons injured.

"Tomorrow, we will be having an emergency security meeting involving management of all the markets, motor parks, shopping centers, football fields and other attack prone areas and we will invite the Civilian JTF and of course our security officials so that we cross pollinate ideas and come up with some new measures that will strengthen our existing security structure around markets. We have been taking different steps as the insurgents change their ways, we will all meet and come with measures that will not be made public. This suicide attack is highly unfortunate, I condole and commiserate with the families of the victims. Insha Allah, we will always the best we can to prevent this kind of blood bath" Shettima said.

Our correspondent reports that in December, 2014, Governor Kashim Shettima had ordered the barricades of most markets while youth volunteers under the Civilian JTF ‎were posted to man security around markets in Maiduguri. The Boko Haram insurgents had repeatedly targeted the Maiduguri Monday markets using persons who conceal bombs and pretend to be buyers of goods, targeting traders and customers before blowing themselves up.

Ok seen, second to comment....

I thought Medugiri was the safest place to be in Nigeria? Olodo governor playing politics with human lives.

Mr Gov I thought you assured the nation that Borno state is the safest state to live in, so what happened?

oloriooko:
Mr Gov I thought you assured the all nation that Borno state is the safest state to live in, so what happened?

I tire o.

Our politicians seem to not realize the impact a single pronouncement can have.

They sometimes think that our brains are too little to accommodate a few more events other than today's.

He will still want to use that same mouth in an attempt to woo investors. Which investor will be forgetful enough to to believe such a "liar"?

I won't bet against Boko Haram striking on the back of reckless comments as his and the military's.

Borno is safer than Abuja. May God help us o

This same Shettima ewu Hausa told us that maduguri is safer than Lagos, his statement prompted the boko boys to action.

Maiduguri is safer than vatican city


Foolissh politician with devil's heart

Safe my a. Ss

We have no apologies just bomb your self's to thy kingdom come

I THOUGHT THE isi ewu SAID MAIDUGURI IS SAFER THAN LAGOS AND ABUJA.

Shey even Buhari has declared the war won. Continue, they are only desperate boko boys, hitting soft targets

Meanwhile, Buhari the illiterate sadist is launching a military operation in the South East. A region that has been the most peaceful until the corrupt Daura herdsman became president. The north will keep boiling and imploding until they ask us to have a referendum and go our separate ways

This Idiiot said Maiduguri is safer than Lagos and Abuja...

Seems this governor thinks BH are joking?

Slimmos:
This Idiiot said Maiduguri is safer than Lagos and Abuja...

Boko haram just justified his previous statement.

What da hell is wrong with Buhari government for heaven sake?Anyway I dedicate thiis . Comment to mmadridista in the house and as for other club if you need injury time goal call Ramos!!!

This blood they are sharing in Maiduguri. DerisGodooooo.

Truly, Maiduguri is safer than Lagos and Abuja combined.

Shetima told us Maiduguri is safer than Abuja and Lagos. Talkative

May God give Buhari, Buratai, Lie Mohammed et al the courage to resist tempting boko haram with their 'victory boasts'

Oga shetima... I thought u said borno is now safer dan lagos and abuja...lol I jus laff...y is it dat anytime u and your apc folks make statement like this the next thing we hear is another blast...please you apc fools should jus keep quiet for God sake to avoid other blast in the nearest future...cox of u and buhari political ambition pple are losing thier lives please jus keep quiet for goodness sake

maiduguri is safer than abuja, Lagos, etc so this man claimed a few days ago....

Boko Haram has been technically defeated - lie mohammed.

Meanwhile, the vampire in aso rock and his military agent are lunching one operating or the other in SE/SS.

Shetima is not to blame but Buratai who came up to give deadline when boko haram WilI end(December). When the U. S wanted to eliminate Osama bin Laden, nobody knew their plans until the man was finally killed. Our leaders must learn how to manage their victory by having mouth insurance otherwise we will only be wasting our time or better still, playing politics with human lives. Also, those soldiers who have spent yrs in the war zone ought to be changed for effective security because It's now obvious that there are informants even within the military which is making it increasingly difficult to defeat this guyz.

The zombi governor said Borno is safer than Lagos edioot
