The re-arrest of Kabiru Sokoto,one of the suspected masterminds of the Christmas day bombing in Niger State is still generating much reaction. We gathered he was re-arrested following tip offs. He was paraded today before newsmen by the SSS. He was wearing a PUMA designer T shirt. According to Maryln Ogar, the spokeswoman for State Security Service in Nigeria, the suspect was re-arrested in Taraba State. The last time he was arrested, he escaped and it caused the forceful exit of the former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Rigim from office.He was sacked by President Goodluck Jonathan based on the negligence. Now, who gets the N50 million Naira bounty that was placed on the man that was once Nigeria's most wanted person? No one could say but sure someone must have got it!
