Mukhtar told Punch that seven of his men died in the bomb blast. “We have seen their corpses. They are in the mortuary now. Seven of them including loaders and one task force member are dead.”
Another trader at the terminal also saw the car being driven into the park. It was gathered that a trader, who was awake when the two "military" men arrived in separate cars had been making useful statements to security agencies in order to unravel the mystery surrounding the bomb blast.
When Punch contacted the Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen Laleye Olajide, he described the claim as a falsehood which should be dismissed. He said those making the claim were only on a mission to destroy the image of the Nigerian Army.
“Why did they not say so in the beginning when the explosion occurred if it was true? Why did they not say it at the time. This thing happened how many days ago, it happened since Monday and I have not read it anywhere. People said they even recovered the bodies of the bombers, they did not say the bodies were recovered with military uniform.
“Why are people just out to destroy the image of the Army? This is falsehood, it is not true. It is just another attempt to destroy the image of the Army,” he insisted.
Who do we believe now? Is it possible for the body of the bomber to be recovered intact when people in other cars in the vicinity was shattered to pieces? What is going on in Nigeria?
