Via Sahara Reporters I have just heard that at about 2 pm, in Maiduguri, a
suicide bomber attacked the palace of the Shehu of Borno State
Alhaji Umar Garbai Abba Kyari.
A source said that the explosion occurred as the Shehu was being escorted to the palace after Friday prayers. The explosion reportedly injured the ward head of Galtimari, Alhaji Lawan Makinta and some children in the Shehu's entourage.
The area has been cordoned off by men of the Joint Task Force comprising of army and the Nigerian police force.
Update. The Shehu of Borno and the state deputy Governor escaped death. Sources have said that the suicide bomber was a 15year old boy.
fatalities still unknown

It's getting more dangerous with the day. Nigerians, please sit up. Anger and recriminations won't solve the problem. Politics(and relying on politicians alone) wouldn't do it either. There must be some people out there capable of speaking wisdom across the board. May God save this great nation of yours!
