Seven people have been confirmed dead, while about ten others were injured, in the explosion which rocked Damaturu, the Yobe state capital on Sunday.



The explosion occurred when a suicide bomber driving a bomb-rigged vehicle was intercepted at a check point by officers of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in the state.

Instead of subjecting his vehicle to a compulsory search by the patrol team, the bomber drove off which led to a chase by the JTF officers.

The suicide bomber detonated the bomb when the team caught up with him.

The state’s Police Commissioner, Patrick Egbuniwe confirmed the incident to Channels Television stating that “the lone suicide bomber detonated the bomb before the car he was in could be stopped, killing the six soldiers and one civilian.”

“Another civilian died of his wounds in hospital shortly after” he added.

Yobe state has recorded a number insurgent attacks in the last one year with such attacks launched at Churches, schools and security operatives.

The attack took a new twist last Friday when the Emir of Fika, Mohammed Abali Ibn Idrissa narrowly escaped death when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at the mosque where he was observing the Jumat prayers in Potiskum, Yobe state.

Seven killed' in Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting
Emergency vehicles gathered outside the scene of Sunday's shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin Police urged media at the scene not to broadcast footage that could compromise their operation

Police say they believe at least seven people, including a gunman, have died in a shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek in the US state of Wisconsin.

A police officer had been shot multiple times but was expected to survive, Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt. He said a "civilian" was also being treated for gunshot wounds.

Police cannot confirm reports that more gunmen are inside the building.

They say the situation remains "very fluid".

Chief Wentlandt said that multiple calls had been made to the 911 emergency services number at about 10:25 local time (15:25 GMT).

He said a police officer had been sent to the scene and had "engaged an active shooter", during which he had been shot multiple times.

Police have corralled journalists outside the temple and urged them not to broadcast aerial footage that could compromise the operation.

Oak Creek is a town of about 30,000 people in the south-east corner of the state.
'Many injured'

Chief Wentlandt said police had identified four people dead inside the temple and three outside, including the gunman shot by police.

But he cautioned that he was giving the "best information we have now - it may change".

He said security services were trying to co-ordinate the response and secure the scene, and said another briefing would be held at 15:30 local time.

Parminder Kaleka, who was waiting outside the temple, told the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel that she had phoned her brother-in-law - who she said was the priest of the temple - who was inside "at that time [the] shooting happened".

"He told me 25 or more people got shot, at that time they don't even know if they are dead or alive, so a lot of people got injured."

She said she had heard her brother-in-law had also been shot, and said desperate families were gathered outside the temple waiting for news.

"This is a big tragedy for our church," she said, saying everyone had always assumed it would be a place of safety.

Other relatives of people inside the temple at the time of the shooting said they had heard reports of children being held hostage inside the basement, but there has been no confirmation of this.

A Nigerian Writes From Finland....


"...Imagine Killing Innocent People, Wasting Precious Blood. The Innocent Blood Will Cry To God For Revenge. Whatever Happens, One day Good Will Certainly Triumph Over Evil. The Lord God Almighty Never Sleeps..."

Islam means = Kill, destroy, murder, behead, rape, steal, scatter, pieces, confiscate, assassinate, loot, wickedness, callousness. Islam represents everything that is evil.

Islam is divided into two groups;

1. Those who will chop-off your head at the slightest opportunity, e.g Boko Haram, Al-Quaeda, Al- Shabab, Hezbollah etc

2. Those who will stand and watch and applaud them as they are killing you, e.g Ajanni, Buhari, Atiku, Cadanre, Jublow, Usman, El-Rufai, Fateewase and aishadestiney, Babangida, Sultan of Sokoto.
