Captain Sadiq Shehu (rtd), a security analyst, has said that some of the suicide bombers who killed people in Gwoza, Borno State, were given as low as N20.

Captain Shehu stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He said that the Saturday attacks, which had claimed about 30 lives so far, were an indication that Boko haram cannot carry out conventional attacks.

He said, “Suicide bombing is relatively a very cheap thing to do. And to be honest with you, if you followed some of the interviews we had with some of the girls who were intercepted and did not detonate their bombs, they were given something as low as N20.

“For Boko Haram , suicide bombing carries a lot of advantages. One, it is low cost. Second, the suicide bomber has the advantage of hiding the bomb. You know how people in the north east dress in hijab. It is very easy for a lady to conceal [explosives].

“And culturally even there is a tendency that even the security personnel don’t search women too closely the way they can search a man. In our culture it is difficult to search women that way even though there is a solution as you can assign a woman to do that.”

Gwazo attacks indicates laxity in screening exercise –Commissioner

Meanwhile, the Borno State Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Sugun Mai Mele, said the attacks were an indication of laxity in screening exercises by security personnel.

He said, “They smuggled the blasts through the women who went to the farm. They usually go to their farms early in the morning, through the military gate and when returning they come through the military gate again. But they smuggled it through the women who were coming back from the farm.

“There is a level of laxity on the part of the security in the screening exercise. Before now when farmers were going out to the farm, they issued tags and they would be ed. In the evening when they came back, they showed their tags and the security personnel marked them. So anybody that did not come back during the closing hours then they should be arrested or they would not be allowed in.

“But these women entered and disguised themselves as farmers. I learnt that one of them was even carrying a baby. When she went to the venue of the incident she started begging and people had even started giving her alms, she suddenly detonated the bomb.”

The cheaper the better

That doesnt mean they are poor in case they want to imply that.

Meaning that the life of a northerner is worth N20 to this Boko HARAM people

Chai..






1). Some might not even know what they're carrying,,

2). Some might still have the N20 in their pocket, thinking of using it to buy Tuwo, Kunnu or Masa later on,,



May we North be unfortunate.

Ehen?
.
N20m not N20

I wanted to say it's not about the money they will get but the promises of virgins in the afterlife, but then these are females so I don't know what's in it for them. I guess everything is cheaper in the north, including human life.

One of the biggest mistakes the north made was fighting Igbos in the early days of Nigeria as a country, it never paid them...

For those mentioning me and planning to mention me, please read below before you do that:

If they worked with the Igbos when the British left and started learning and fine tuning their system, the possibility that the north would have been like this today will be very low....

Instead what did they do? They started killing Igbos in the north and taking over their properties and chasing them away from positions they earned by merit and placing their own people in same positions without merit and continued their system that has kept them at this level since then....

If they had put in efforts to adjust their system and learn on improvement to compete healthily with the Igbos it may have been a different thing today and they may have still gotten what they wanted to achieve based on merit, but instead they chose fight when Igbos did not offend them...

You can read more here and this happened before the coup for those mentioning me and mixing up timelines ...
