WHEN the story broke out some days ago that a group of 486 Northern men aged from 16 years and above travelling in 35 Toyota Hummer buses arcade from the North to Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital were stopped and apprehended on Sunday at about 2.am, between Arungwa Junction on the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway and Imo Gate, the Abia/Rivers boundary by the military in Abia State, i knew there was more to this story.
For a while now a Nothern state Governor and the Boko Boss "Shekau" has been threatening that the activities of boko haram will spread to the south- east and south -south states o Nigeria.
There was a foiled boko haram attempt on a church in Imo state, south-east Nigeria and the next day 486 Men were deployed to the South South in a claim of being Job seekers. However the men of the military and the Abia state Commissioner of police did not buy that story as they wondered how such a large number of youths could be travelling in Port harcourt in search of job.
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (a core northern group) through their president Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Tuesday condemned what it referred to as a random arrest of 486 northerners in Abia State as suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
The group said they were certain that virtually all the arrested northerners had no link with Boko Haram, warning the South-East governors that such action was capable of fueling enmity between the northerners and southerners..But the military was not buying this story and decided to carry out investigations as regards why 486 northern men (youths) will leave their states in search of jobs in another state that has over 100,000 unemployed youths.
they wondered how 486 Men (no woman, no child) could all travel in an arcade of 35 similar vehicles all the way from the north to the south uninterrupted.. No one was buying the feeble that these men were Job seekers.

Today after some investigations there is a new development. A terror kingpin on the list of wanted terrorists by security forces in Nigeria has been identified as one of the 486 suspects who were nabbed on Sunday by the Nigerian Army in Abia State en route to Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The Director of Defense Information, Major-General Chris Olukolade, in a statement, said during the screening of the 486 suspects who were apprehended in Abia, the terror kingpin who had been on the wanted list was identified and taken into custody.
My Question Now is;
1. What is the Guarantee that these terrorist are not already in the south south?
2. What point is Boko Haram and their Northern Leaders trying to proof?
3. Do they Really think an attack on South-East or South -South Nigeria will go "un-retaliated"?4. Can they really Dance to their Drumbeats when the time comes?
5. Is this still about President Goodluck Jonathan And 2015?
7. What preventive Measures are we taking against this Insurgents from invading the south-east and South-South Nigeria?
8. Why Rivers And Imo State..? . is it because their Governors are now members of what is referred to as the "Islamic" party- APC?
