The death toll in the second #Nyanya bombing has risen to 19, while 60 others are allegedly injured and receiving treatment.

The police spokesman, CSP Frank Mba, confirmed the figure at a news conference at Nyanya, the scene of the incident.

The spokesperson of the Department of State Services (DSS), Marilyn Ogar, and an official of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), attended the briefing. Mba said that six others apart from the 60 injured had been treated and discharge.

He also said three unexploded Improvise Explosive Devices (IEDs) were recovered from the scene, adding that they had been rendered safe.

"Investigations are ongoing and we appeal to the citizens to rally round the security forces at this critical point in our history. It will take the unity of all of us to defeat terror,’’ Mba said, and declined comment on whether any arrest had been made.

"I will not speak at this stage on ongoing investigations but investigations are ongoing and we will give facts when it is right to do so.’’

Also, Ogar, DSS spokesperson, said the cooperation of all Nigerians was required to win the war against terrorism.

"We must take our security into our hands because the security agencies cannot do it all alone, it must be collective. The call here is for all Nigerians to rally round security agencies, it is not a time to say they are not doing what they are supposed to do.

"The number of security personnel in the country is very small compared to the population, rally round us through information, no information is useless,’’ Ogar appealed.

Too many interests. Corruption at all levels of Government in all regions and states of the Federation.
 
Seems the arm of the law is not long enough.
It is always long enough but is it strong enough to drag the powerful and well connected into a small cell?

If you doubt the length of the arm of the law in Nigeria, take 2K from any office in Lagos and get caught.
