Explosion Rocks Gen. Buhari’s Hometown In Katsina



Explosion and sporadic gunshots rocked the quiet town of Daura, Katsina state, home town of opposition leader, Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday night.
The attack started at about 10 p.m. and was still ongoing one hour later. Witnesses said the attackers brought down police station and robbed banks and homes.
Some residents said the attack started around Daura Motel in the city centre before the attackers moved against banks and a police station.
Another witness said the attackers freed detainees at the police station in the town and then threw explosions at the station and prison.
It is unclear if the attackers are members of the extremist Boko Haram sect that has been terrorizing northern Nigeria since 2009.
The attack comes barely 48 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in three northern states — Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
Katsina, also home to late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, under whose watch the Boko Haram sect transformed to a terror organization, has managed to remain insulated from the security crises in northern Nigeria.
The police in Katsina were unreachable for comments Thursday night.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release.
