Apart from the Abuja office which was bombed this morning,we can authoritatively report that Thisday Newspaper,Kaduna office was also bombed this morning by the dreaded moslem sect Boko Haram..The number of casualties is unknown..While two security men at the Abuja post died at the incident as witnessed by us with the suicide bomber who rammed its suicide vehicle into the lobby area of Thisday office in Abuja,that of kaduna is still yet to be determined.As at the time we arrived the Bombing site which was about three minutes from our office,heavy smoke envolped the whole environment.The blast effect was felt five kilometers from the venue of the blast.The casualty figure was very low because the planners did not know the workings at Newspaper houses.Reporters and staff dont report for duty till late evening to file in their stories.The Thisday office was practically empty when they struck..What has consistently baffled everyones mind is the lavity with which the Nigerian security authorities treat such security threat alarms.It will be recalled that the United State Government as well as that of Britain and some other European countries some weeks back warned the Nigerian government of a planned attack by Boko Haram in Abuja.The threat was dismissed by the government through its Minister of Information Labaran maku  who asked the foreign government to mind their business instead of raising unneccessary alarm..The Boko Haram sect in the past has also threatened to attack media houses in Nigeria.Its yet to be known why Thisday,one of Nigerian leading Newspaper owned by Delta State South South region with the President)  born mogul Nduka Obiagbena was chosen for the attack..The coming days will unveil the real motives.it will be recalled that same Newspaper courted the rot of some moslem fundamentalists in the past when it wrote a story about the Prophet Mohammed when the Miss World Pageant was to be staged in nigeria..The outcry that followed the report led to the cancellation of the pageant in Nigeria and the female reporter that wrote the story has to be secretly smuggled out to europe..CKN
