KANO BOMB BLAST

"when an elder cant see what a child is pointing at while standing, he should squat instead"

Days after the successful release of a Christmas day bombing suspect and boko haram member Kabir Sokoto by members of the Nigerian police in collaboration with the commissioner of police in person of Mr Zakaria Biu, who currently is under house arrest, multiple bomb explosions occurred in the city capital of Kano state on Friday the 20th of January 2012.
The bomb blast targeted at police stations effectively freed prisoners and killed as many as were within the vicinity of the blasts. Not enough destruction, the members of the boko haram group went ahead on a shooting spree and in the process also killed a press man, Mr Enenche Okogwu (RIP) an employee of Channels Television on-ground reporting crew in Kano who was on the scene.
With scores of people dead and wounded, all hell was let loose as confusion engulfed the whole city as fear of more terror engulfed  everyone.
If that was not enough, in the early hours of Sunday the 22nd of January 2012 more attacks this time around targeted at two churches in Bauchi, with gun attacks in other parts of the state was carried out by yet the same boko haram group,  who have remained as elusive as possible with only the signs of terror as its face and trademark. With the exception of a few foot soldiers they let run around sometimes, to give them more publicity and something for the police to chew on, nothing is known about the growing terrorist group.

The last time Nigeria was faced by a militant Islamic sect hiding under religion to perpetuate violence was back in the 70's and early 80's that's between 1972 and 1985, although the founder of the movement Alhaji Mohammed Marwa Maitatsine died in 1980, the evil he had planted took another 5 years toll before its containment. It took the combined efforts of the military formations and and the death of about 5000 people including Maitatsine to cool down the violence in 1980. That didn't quench the fire though, as he already had enough followers to bear a successor in person of Musa Makaniki.
The next five years Musa Makaniki an indigene of then Bauchi state now Gombe state, kept up operations by spearheading riots in various cities in northern Nigeria including Maiduguri, Kaduna and Yola. With the deaths of over 4000 people and another 60,000 displaced within the 5 year period Musa Malaki fled to Gombe and from there to Cameroon. The exact year of his return to Nigeria isn't known, but he was arrested in the country sometime in 2004, barely a year after boko haram officially established itself. Though boko haram started off without violence the first few years, its now obvious some persons have hijacked the group for political gains.
A thorough look at this North Eastern region will definitely reveal the source of this terrorist group if history is taken into account and juxtaposed with present day facts.

Enough suggestions on how to fight this growing menace has already been made by security experts, concerned citizens, government officials and almost everyone, with little or nothing done to effect such suggestions. Human survival instincts are inborn and any right thinking human being can fathom a way or two on how to deal with the growing scourge of this terror group, no matter how primitive such a solution might be.
With a lot on the plate of the president, time does not permit him 7 days to come up with a decision that can be made in 24 hours. As he continues to tour bombing sites around the country, it should be clear that its a result of him not doing his home work well. He can save the country the money for such trips, and also save himself the time, speeches and solemn faced empty promises of these terrorists "facing the full wrath of the law", by simply doing what is right, and enforcing the already laid down law.
