This incident would have been avoided if the FG have continued with the tight security check they embarked on after the initial bomb explosions in various locations in the capital territory; but in the usual 'Nigerian style', it was relaxed when we thought the bombings subsided in the FCt and was diverted to some Northern states.
I think that was just what the insurgents were waiting for to strike....and they did....
May the souls of the departed RIP.
