The inability of the Federal Government to celebrate the nation's 51st independence anniversary at the usual Eagle Square owing to threats by the Members of the Jaamatus Ahlus Sunnah Lid Daawatis Wal Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), to bomb the nation's capital city if the celebration went ahead was yesterday celebrated by Members of the Jaamatus Ahlus Sunnah Lid Daawatis Wal Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram www.mannastores.com
The sect members have also restated their determination to continue to unleash terror on government and its security forces, should the federal government refuse to meet their earlier demands.
It will be recalled that after the federal government announced that the celebration will be low keyed and denied insinuations that the low key celebration was due to fear of MEND or Boko Haram, there was a military and Police parade inside the Presidential Villa, with foreign ambassadors, High Commissioners' and Chief de missions present at the villa to celebrate Nigeria's 51st Independence anniversary.
And the conditions were also restated by the, spokesman of the sect, Abu Qaqa in an email message sent to newsmen written in Hausa language yesterday said that:
"the country would not have peace until there is 100 per cent implementation of Sharia law in the country as enshrined in the holy Quran as well as immediate release of all our members who were detained and in the custody of security agencies for no just cause".
