We’ll bomb Abuja again on Oct 1 -MEND


IN an apparent planned re-enactment of the bloody show at the Eagle Square, Abuja, venue of the Golden Jubilee celebration of Nigeria on October 1 last year, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has said it will plant and detonate explosives within the vicinity of the Eagle Square again, to coincide with the Independence celebration on Saturday.
In an online statement dispatched by the group’s spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, MEND, which noted that 51 years of nationhood is yet to offer anything worth celebrating to Nigerians, however said this would be its only and last warning about its plan to hit on Saturday.
The three-paragraph statement that was delivered to the Nigerian Tribune at about 9.15 p.m on Wednesday, did not state any categorical reason or demand for the latest threat.
“On October 1, 2011, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) intends to place bombs within and in the immediate vicinity of Eagle Square, venue of the proposed 2011 Independence anniversary celebrations.
“After 51 years of independence, Nigerians still have nothing to celebrate.
