There is palpable fear in Gusau, Zamfara State capital following a text message purportedly being circulated by members of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) that President Goodluck Jonathan should expect another bombing as he plans to commission electricity projects in the state.
The message was sent to a journalist with a national newspaper (not Daily Sun) and other prominent individuals in the state through the mobile number: +2348185474732 and reads unedited:
Attention, MEND being a strong body in the Niger Delta province and protesting against so called Jonathan …XE are ready die in the struggle at all cost the special message to d service is that we are very much aware of the Ebele visit to Zamfara possibly something will happen no body will stop it what happen on October 1, 2010 is real. Lets innocent shy away from d venue as we shall surprise Nigerians bomb is terrible innovation and we are afraid of it please advice people to distant themselves or lost life okey Sokoto airport Zamfara govt house Zamfara
The text message came on the eve of the President’s visit to the state and there is panic among the people, especially, top government officials and security personnel.
It was gathered that as at press time special bomb squad had been deployed in areas within the state capital and the venue for the commissioning of the electrification project at Talata Mafara, which would connect Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi States to the national grid. It was further gathered that armed and plain clothes security personnel had been deployed in major streets in the state capital to provide adequate surveillance and security.
When contacted the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Zamfara command, ASP Sanusi Amiru said the command was aware of the security situation in the country and had drafted special squad on bomb disposal to ensure adequate security at the venue. He advised the public to remain calm and not panic as policemen were on red alert.

It's the handiwork of the detractors, nothing more. Any discerning mind can see that the hand writing is very clear. MEND is absolutely out this.Whatever tactics they may employ, it's certain that they will fail at the end. My candid advice to them is that "if you can't beat them, you join them" . They should join the winning side and let's make NIGERIA greater.

this is just the beggining now , and only GOD actually knows where we are heading to , but i wonder why so many peoples are dennying what looks like real ? leaving the objects aside and chassing its shadows, MEND warns , and thats how they warned before striking at the independence day,s gift , and now another warning and instead of preventing what looks like a disaster some bad and wicked peoples are trying to diverts the attention away from the facts, what is actually their problems with jonathan ?what is it they wants from him ?why do they want him at all cost ? dead or alive , this is very serious ooo, and is this handi work of ibb again ?
