Boko Haram's 'Target For Death' List: The Following People To Die Soonest; IBB, Buhari Among

The security agencies have ordered the restrictions into the movement of some Nigerians who are currently the prime targets of the Boko Haram Islamist Jihadists in the country.

The security sources revealed that on the Boko Haram's 'target for death' list are eminent personalities which includes the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, former-President Shehu Shagari, former military President Ibrahim Babangida, former Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar and others.

The security "protective" restriction will also cover prominent emirs, governors, former-governors, ministers, former-ministers and some highly-placed Nigerians, and that the concerned individuals are to depend on travel approval and advisory from state security apparatus before visiting any part of the Northeast – the birth place of the Boko Haram sects, the headquarters of trouble spots in country which has claimed thousands of lives.

Senator Olubunmi Adetunmb - "President Jonathan: It is time to halt the fiddling"

“The President has spent a great part of the current year junketing across the globe with public funds in needless ventures that could have been handled by subordinates in government.”

In the classic, Quo Vadis, a 1951 American epic film adapted from Henryk Sienkiewicz’s classic 1896 masterpiece, Emperor Nero is said to have played the fiddle while Rome burned. 

The most contemporary parallel of that fable is perhaps the tenure of Nigerian president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. 
The allusion to the ancient Roman leader who according to legend played his fiddle while Rome burned may not be misplaced when juxtaposed with the disconcerting happenings in the polity especially in the security sector and the reaction of the Jonathan led administration.

Former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar described it as ‘mind-boggling’ in a recent interview. The killings at the headquarters of the State Security Service, SSS, a stone throw from the Presidential villa, as a result of an alleged jailbreak clearly shows the huge security challenges the present administration is currently facing.
