       Nigeria's secret police say they are searching for an ex-soldier in connection with a Christmas Day bombing of a Catholic church that killed at least 44 people.

The State Security Service declared Habibu Bama wanted in connection with the Dec. 25 bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, a city just outside the capital Abuja.

Authorities said Wednesday they suspect Bama planted the bomb at the church, which detonated as worshippers left an early morning Mass. The radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram, which is waging an increasingly bloody sectarian fight with Nigeria's weak central government, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Authorities just rearrested a man named Kabiru Sokoto in connection with the church attack after he previously escaped police custody.

    Another source below:

     Following intensive interrogation of the captured spokesperson of the Boko Haram sect, Abul Qaqa, the State Security Services, SSS, has declared another member of the sect, an ex-soldier, Habibu Bama wanted.

The suspect who is said to be known with several pseudo names including Habib Bama, Shuabu Bama and Habib Mamman is Kanuri by tribe and hails from Borno State.

Deputy Director Public Relations in the Department of State Services, DSS, Marilyn Ogar while declaring the suspect wanted in a statement in Abuja, pleaded with members of the public to offer useful information that will lead to his arrest.

According to her, “ HABIBU BAMA  is hereby declared wanted by the Federal Government in connection with crimes against the State.

“HABIBU BAMA is an ex-soldier, Kanuri by tribe and hails from Bama, Borno State. He is also known by the following names; i.  Habib BAMA; ii.  Shuaibu BAMA; and iii. Habib MAMMAN.

She added “members of the public with any information that could lead to his arrest are hereby implored to immediately contact the nearest Police Station, Military formation or any other security agency, please.”
