Daily Independent (Lagos) Bassey Inyang Correspondent 16 June 2011 Calabar — Chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Cross River State, Cletus Obun, has said that the bombing of the headquarters of the Nigerian Police in Abuja, should be put at the door steps of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he accused of bringing terrorism to the country. Obun who spoke to Daily Independent in Calabar on Thursday, said the bombing has shown clearly that the PDP-led Federal Government cannot provide security for Nigeria. According to the ACN chairman, the issue of bombing and terrorism which, he noted, started from the Niger Delta region, has been exported to the North, stressing that what happened in Abuja was an export of agitation to the Northern part of the country.

Abuja — Permanent Secretary, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration, Biodun Nathaniel Olorunfemi, has directed security agencies in Abuja to beef up security in and around Abuja.

This followed the bomb attack on the Police Headquarters, Abuja, which he condemned and described as cowardly.

Olorunfemi directed security agents, including the FCT Command of the Nigeria Police, Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) as well as the FCT Directorate of Road Traffic Services, to randomly stop and search all vehicles in and around FCT.

He appealed for calm to allow security agents carry out detailed investigation to unravel the perpetrators of the act, assuring that more facts about the unfortunate incident would be released after preliminary investigation.

While commiserating with victims of the blast, Olorunfemi commended the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Federal Fire Service, FCT Fire Service as well as officials of the Federal Ministry of Health for their prompt response to the situation.
