Pantami: Buhari’s Terrorism-canceling In the Name of Region and Religion, By Festus Adedayo
On Christmas day in 2009, Nigeria’s Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, aged 23, having been born December 22, 1986, attempted to detonate plastic explosives that were hidden in his underwear. He had boarded a Northwest Airlines Flight 253 heading from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan, with 289 passengers on board. Providence however rescued those souls as the explosives refused to explode, burning instead Abdulmutallab’s laps and genitalia. About three years after, on February 16, 2012, a United States federal court convicted him on eight counts bordering on his criminality. These included an attempt to unleash a weapon of mass destruction. Abdulmutallab got a term of sentencing for life and another 50 years without parole. Since then, he has been sequestered at the ADX Florence federal prison in Colorado, America.

By Gabriel Ewepu
AS Nigerians continue to strategise to provide security for themselves at all levels, which has led to establishment of regional outfits christened Amotekun and Ebubeagu in South West and South East regions respectively, an international rights organisation, Global Rights Nigeria, Wednesday, asserted that guns and might alone will not tackle the rising insecurity challenge.
Speaking with Vanguard, the Country Director, Global Rights Nigeria, Abiodun Baiyewu, said if government fails to tackle and reduce unemployment and poverty the approach of force would be counterproductive.
