MONDAY’S blast at Nyanya Bus Park in Nasarawa State,
which killed scores and left many others wounded, could have been averted had
the Defence Headquarters responded appropriately to a security tip-off, an
activist with the Rights and Democracy Volunteers, Sani Aliyu, said Tuesday in
Abuja.
Aliyu told a
roundtable organised by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Foundation to discuss
cooperation between civil society organisations and the media on the security
challenge in Nigeria that about a week ago, he spotted some young men in town
early in the morning with bands on their heads, smoking.
“I immediately went to the military headquarters and
reported,” he narrated. “The boys themselves, in vehicles, came to the front of
the military headquarters and stood for some time and the military did not do
anything.
“Yesterday (Monday), when the bombing happened, I went
back to the military headquarters but they told me they couldn’t arrest the
boys because they didn’t have the authority to arrest them.”
