Man Who Predicted Abuja Bombing Shuts Down Twitter Account

Following the twin bombings that rocked the Kuje area of Abuja last night, the a Twitter user with the handle @chimaokoro63 had earlier predicted the attacks has shut down his account.

The bombings were suspected to have been perpetuated by the Boko Haram terrorist group, although the sect is yet to claim responsibility for the attacks.

According to @chimaokoro63, the Boko Haram sect is also going to attack the commercial hub of the country- Lagos state as well as security operatives from the police, army and navy.

What is interesting about Okoro’s post is that he did not only post it about 28 times but also made the same post on Facebook, this time with the hash tag #Biafra and the warning “believe me or you leave, until you allow #BIAFRA To Go.”
This has raised suspicions about Okoro who earlier changed  his twitter-handle from @chimaokoro63 to @chimaokori633 before he finally deleted his account.

Nigerians have been reacting to Okoro’s post, calling on the Defense headquarters to arrest him.
