A 75-year-old survivor of the November 28 multiple bomb explosions in Kano, Alhaji Mohammed Isa Tiga, yesterday gave a bloodchilling account of the attack that rocked the city’s Central Mosque, saying he survived by Allah’s grace.
Speaking to Sunday Sun at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Abdullahi Wase Specialist (Nassarawa) Hospital, the frail-looking man recounted that those responsible for the blasts came in a Toyota Sienna space wagon just as the Jumat prayers were about to start. He recalled seeing three of them, adding that while two sat at the back of the vehicle, only one was seated at the front.
According to him, as soon as they arrived, they stepped out of the car like normal worshippers and looked every bit like worshippers until they began to operate.

“I was close by. I saw the three of them alight from the car. A few minutes after they walked away from the vehicle, the bombs exploded,”Isa Tiga suffered injuries in the confusion, stressing that his survival was a miracle.He could not say what eventually happened to the three men.
He recalled that confusion ensued. “As people tried to run away, the young men pulled out their guns and were shooting at those struggling to escape from the blast.”
Na wa o. God please show your mercy on Nigeria

ReplyDeleteIf Dey can do ds 2 deir fellow brodas in faith,den we hv 2 b xtremely careful durin xmas. God save us
ReplyDeleteI thought as much
Deleteplease ehn, stop associating ISLAM and BOKOHARAM, they are two very diffrent things,,,,is just like sayings christianity and BOKO HARAM,,,,you know is not fair,,,
DeleteBOKO HARAM are on their own, lets stop hypocrisy and face the fact that we have an enemy out there.
This country is really going down the drain with to many issues face it..nigeria niara is being devalued,bomb blast every day(like xmas knock-out),senators scaling through the gate(to save a socalled Democracy),house of assembly tries to impeach jonathan,senators trying to remove the IGP from office..........if I say i am hopeful of a better nigeria....I am great liar
ReplyDeletePlenty trouble for one country. A trouble give birth to another trouble
DeleteGod please save our country...this is so sad
ReplyDeleteHaaba this is really getting out of hand o. So they now kill Muslims too? No one is safe then. Dear God, please come to our rescue
ReplyDeleteThey were Killing Muslims since day one of their operation my dear, the media have given you the wrong information about boko haram thats why....this is not the first mosque they attacked,,,
Deleteis just like detonating a bomb in bayelsa or ANY CHRISTIAN POPULATED STATE markets and schools, and how will you agree that MUSLIMS ARE KILLED MORE???? thats simply whats hapening in BORNO,,,BORNO is the most MUSLIM POPULATED CITY in NIGERIA,,,But the bloggers and media reports the opposite,,,,
Yahya don't misinform people they were not burning mosques in the past. This happened because last week Sanusi in the same mosque asked people to take up the challenge against
Deleteboko haram so they decided to teach him a lesson by bombing the mosque in his domain - Just to shut him up. Boko haram is a product of Islam so stop saying they are something else. All their actions are all copied from the Koran. You guys should have an overhaul of the koran done if indeed you want to be taken seriously as a people against killings and beheading of innocent souls.
I JUST HAVE TO SAY MAY GOD GUIDE YOU,,,I URGE YOU TO STUDY YOUR SCRIPTURE NOT WORSHIP YOUR PASTORS AND YOU WILL SEE THE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, A GOOD CHRISTIAN SHOULDN'T BE UTTERING THIS, ITS A SLAP ON YOUR FACE.
DeleteYahya you obviously do not know what you are talking about. I am not even sure you are a Muslim. Just noticing you on this forum. And if you want a proper debate about your so called Islam I will take you up BIG TIME.
DeleteEveryday you see atrocities committed in the name of islam yet there are no mass protests in the muslım world but if an infidel westerner even threatens to desecrate a Koran all hell breaks loose. Makes you wonder if it's the atrocities they object to or just infedels.. IT İŞ WELL
ReplyDeleteWhat more can the muslims do than what they are doing now,,,our belief is that a muslim northerner cannot detonate a bomb in a mosque or in a market .,,, we know the screts behind all these terrorists group from ISIS, to boko haram, they are all sponsored for a reason and we know it.our youths have go to the extend of forming CIVILIAN JTF, unarmed, fightinh BOKO HARAM, and BOKO HARAM are afraid of them,,,WHY CANT THE NIGERIAN ARMY FINISH THIS RAG TAG BOKO HARAM ??? SOME PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY BEHIND IT, THATS ALL
Delete@ YAHYA love is the answer! Let the imams preach love and there will be dramatic change. The same red blood runs in everybody's veins. The reasons for this mayhem is the message of hate, intolerance and bitterness being preached in mosques. You cannot force anyone to serve except it come from their heart and it take love for someone to say 'yes'. Be it to man or God. The hate cloud is everywhere in Nigeria. If muslims speak out one after the other against these BH, they will soon learn that they are fighting an already lost battle. But when you guys come here to cast aspersions on christians, asking them to stop following their pastors and scriptures... etc, it goes without saying that you are all from the same stock. Your retorts to SOUTHEASTERN smacks of hate and intolerance. Just open your hearts to love your fellow man and this world will be a good place for all.
DeleteWhat has BOKO HARAM got to do with worshipers. Perplexed set of terrorist..
ReplyDeleteGOD will save us all, no evil shall befall Nigeria in Jesus name, and Nigeria will never go down the drain!!
ReplyDelete@Yahya, what does Shekau/BH preach? Christianity? Jesus Christ? God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteNeither does he preach ISLAM, he preaches BOKO HARAM...

ReplyDeleteUm just seeing Yamaha all over this post, whasapp?
ReplyDeleteLord come and have your way in nigeria,dis is just too much
ReplyDeleteIt's Obvious that dis site is full of hate for islam nd Muslims, u think all the bomb blasts dat happened in Borno states weren't killing Muslims, d ones in adamawa, Kano, Jaigawa, etc we have been keepin quiet nd gettin hurt by sum1 who lies he's a Muslim, islam doesn't preach all dis, these ppl are doin wat suits their purpose! I'm a Muslim but I have many christian frnds from all part of nigeria nd dey r really close to me, so please stop the hate! All of u dat come to this blog make me wonder if dats how we'll keepin hatin in Nigeria tins will neva be better!
ReplyDeleteNo one is interested in hating anyone. Tell your brothers in ISLAM to stop killing and bombing
Deletepeople in the name of ISLAM. No other religion in the whole world goes about killing, bombing and beheading people but your ISLAM. Jesus Christ preaches the doctrine of Love thy neighbor but your Mohammed peaches hate and intolerance of people of other faith. Everything is in your Koran and the Hadiths. You guys needs to have some form of a new testament of the Koran and expunge all the satanic verses therein before people can take you guys seriously.
Been making typo errors cos I'm Soooo not happy wit wat u guys are sayin about islam! Sad
ReplyDeleteIts well
