An attempt to bomb the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, by members of the Boko Haram sect has been foiled by police and the neighbourhood watch, in Udenu local government area of Enugu State.
On the eve of Christmas, an alleged member of the Boko Haram was arrested between Imilike Agu and Ogboduaba communities in Udenu LGA, Enugu State, allegedly on a mission to bomb University of Nigeria, Nsukka and one other higher institution of learning in Enugu State capital.
A source who pleaded anonymity, said the neighbourhood watch cited a man with strange movement and alien dressing, accosted him for clarification, explaining that he confessed his membership of the Boko Haram sect on a mission to bomb the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
The alleged Boko Haram member came out of a forest where he and his accomplices had stayed for several days to buy cigarette but could not locate his way back to the forest before his arrest.
“When he was searched, some explosives were discovered on him, while he was later handed over to Obollo-Afor police division for further interrogation,” the source said.
He further said that the apprehended member of the sect also took them to their hide-out in the forest only for others to flee on sensing danger.
It would be recalled that earlier this year, the Boko Haram issued stern threat to bomb the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and other universities in the South East zone.
Contacted for comment, Enugu State Police Public Relations Officers, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amarizu, confirmed the report, saying the alleged Boko Haram member who hailed from Kano State, behaved as though he was insane.
The PPRO, noted that there were no explosives recovered from him as widely rumoured, explained that the suspect was currently in police custody while investigation was ongoing.

Why has none of the main news media in Nigeria carried this story? I checked and only on this website; can I find any news relating to this.... Are there secret manipulations at work? To turn the nation into a cauldron
All muslims are the same heartless human beings. In their communities they know the boko malam remembers but they won't report them,which means they are all part of the bombings in naija. Never in my life will i wanna have anything to do with any one who's a muslim be it friends,girlfriends etc I don't want muslims around me. They claim to be peaceful,but their actions are opposite. Why are they killing people?if a muslim repents they'll kill him/her,if you refuse to be part of their religion they kill you,even if you're a muslim they kill you with suicide bombers or throw bomb into the mosque... What do muslims want??? what are they preaching??? Isn't it fair if someone should say that muslim region is a woe to the world,and that it's from satan the devil???

I see war! Nigeria must divide peacefully or the hard way. Uncivilized,religiously brain washed, human eaters in the North must be meant to live among themselves. It`s high time the south went, otherwise, there are more horrific news to come.
