COVID-19 IN NIGERIA: WE SAY NO TO CHINA INTERVENTION

Can the world ever trust China again? Would Nigeria romance with the prime suspect of the current global crisis (COVID-19)? How can we? In 2012 China handed over a fully funded and built headquarters building in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to the African Union (AU). A great gesture of friendship and solidarity, perhaps. But not long after, it was alleged to have been bugged, leaking vital, confidential information of the Union to China in faraway Shanghai! True or false, the Union had to change its computer servers to check the alleged mischief. But issues of health are different. Misfiring means losing a life, or even lives. On a national scale, that can amount to thousands. Painful loss. Avoidable loss. The authorities must tread with caution here. Face masks, test kits, ventilators, vaccine and doctors - all from or of China. Hmmmm, caution we must exercise. Until now we have been using our indigenous doctors, and they have been doing well. WHY CHANGE THE WINNING TEAM? Please let us DISCARD this idea of Chinese intervention. WE DON'T NEED IT. Let us stay safe Stay indigenous. Stay Nigerian We shall overcome

REVEALED: Suspected Kaduna bomber arrested, disguised as a woman


The Nigerian military on Friday said it arrested a suspected bomber who disguised himself as a woman. A statement by the Defence Headquarters said the man who was dressed like woman was suspected to be connected with
the explosion targeted at the convoy of a former military head of state, Mohammed Buhari, in Kaduna.
The attack occurred near the busy Kawo market in Kaduna, killing 15 people, the police said.
A bomb-laden car rammed into the ex-leader’s convoy after trailing it for a distance, and unsuccessfully trying to overtake the escort vehicle to reach Mr. Buhari’s armoured SUV.

The military said the suspect was arrested by a security team that arrived at the explosion site not long after the blast. He was caught while trying to merge into a crowd of onlookers.

Some youth in the area tried to lynch the suspect while he was being arrested but were restrained by troops who whisked him away in an Armoured Personnel Carrier, APC.

The statement said the suspect was currently being interrogated by security agencies to figure out his links with the attempt on Mr. Buhari’s life.
