Nigeria Bombing Suspect Killed After 21 Die in Abuja Blast

No comments
Nigerian security forces killed one suspect and detained another after 21 people died in a bomb explosion near a shopping center in the capital, Abuja.
The blast yesterday near the Emab Plaza wounded 52 people, National Emergency Management Agency spokesman Ezekiel Manzo said by phone today. The bombing occurred at about 4 p.m. local time in Abuja’s Wuse 2 district, popular with wealthy Nigerians and foreigners.
No group claimed responsibility. Nigerian security forces are struggling to contain a violent campaign by the Islamist group Boko Haram to impose Islamic law on Africa’s biggest oil producer. The group killed at least 75 people in an Abuja suburb in April in the capital’s deadliest bombing.
If the blast “is a terrorist attack, it highlights the increased capabilities of Boko Haram to strike within the city despite the greater public security presence there,” Thomas Hansen, senior Africa analyst at Control Risks in London, said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Previously, attacks have only occurred on the outskirts of Abuja.”
After the blast, a suspect was killed as he tried to flee on a bike, the National Information Centre said in an e-mail.
A week before yesterday’s attack, the third in Abuja since April, government spokesman Mike Omeri said intelligence reports indicated militants planned to hijack gasoline trucks and use them to carry improvised explosives to the capital.

Schoolgirl Kidnapping

Boko Haram drew international outrage when it kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in the northeastern state of Borno in April. Most of the girls are still missing, and countries including the U.S. and U.K. are aiding the search and rescue effort.
President Goodluck Jonathan has said Boko Haram is part of al-Qaeda and poses a threat to countries throughout the region.
His administration has enforced emergency rule in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, the three states where Boko Haram is most active, since May 2013.
Jonathan hasn’t said if he will seek re-election in February.
Nigeria, a country of 170 million people with Africa’s biggest economy, is roughly divided between a mainly Muslim north and predominately Christian south.To contact the reporter of this news please contact

Argentina 3-2 Nigeria World Cup 2014 MATCH REPORT:

In the swing: Argentina's Lionel Messi warms up before the Group F clash Eye on the ball: Argentina's Lionel Messi practices with a football in Porto Alegre
16:35
Group F as it stands
It's quite simple (well it is up to a point) regarding the qualification scenario from Group F.
Argentina are already through and can seal top spot with a draw, while Nigeria can qualify for the last 16 with a point as runners-up. If they are daring they could do the ultimate job and claim top spot with victory.
Iran must beat Bosnia, who are already out, and hope Argentina beat Nigeria to have any chance of progress.
But there is one more scenario to consider...
16:27
Inspired by past and present heroes
Here's a quick little game for you, can you recognise the masks that these Argentina supporters are wearing? I don't have the answers but I can swear there is two of one former Premier League striker.
*SPOILER: For my money, it's (left to right) Maradona, Veron, Tevez, Aguero, Di Maria, Tevez and Messi

Messi the Magician to lead Argentina to three successive wins?
We've been waiting eight years for Lionel Messi to finally shine for Argentina at the World Cup and now it's finally happening.
Just as well for the South Americans too, because without the Barcelona star's magic they would surely be struggling in this group.
However they are through to the last 16 and you can back Argentina to win with Messi scoring at 5/4 with Coral in their match special. Click here for more on that offer and other potential bets.

Team news from Estadio Beira-Rio
It's status quo for both sides, with Argentina and Nigeria unchanged from their 1-0 wins over Iran and Bosnia respectively.
Lionel Messi captains the South American team in a match where both teams will be more than happy to take a draw...which isn't a really good omen for the entertainment junkies among us.

June 25 - arguably the greatest day in Argentina's World Cup history...
...and no I don't mean today where the South American side will surely get the point they need to finish top of Group F.
June 25 just happens to be the day when Argentina won their first World Cup in 1978, defeating Holland 3-1 in the final.
Since winning the tournament again in 1986, they have only reached one semi-final, but is this the year that Lionel Messi can finally live up to his reputation as one of the greatest players in the world and lead them to global glory in Brazil? Team news coming right up.

Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the World Cup as Argentina and Nigeria meet in their final Group F match at the Estadio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre.
Lionel Messi's two goals in this tournament have already helped the South American side into the last 16 and they will now aim to secure top spot with a point against the Super Eagles.
Nigeria begin the day sitting in a last 16 place and know a draw would be enough for them to advance at the expense of Iran who play the already eliminated Bosnia.

Argentina 3-2 Nigeria World Cup 2014 MATCH REPORT: Lionel Messi at the double to ensure top spot in Group F for South Americans

No comments
Those two changes have taken the sting out of this game. Beforehand it was a very entertaining encounter but without Messi Argentina are showing very little, while Nigeria are trying to settle since the loss of Babatunde. You got me twice! Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama of Nigeria shares a joke with Lionel Messi of Argentina
18:27
Nigeria substitution
65min: Play hasn't restarted since Messi went off and that's because Michel Babatunde has spent a good three or four minutes down in some pain.
Ogenyi Onazi's shot earlier appeared to hit his team-mate's wrist and he is going off to be replaced by Michael Uchebo.
18:24
Argentina substitution
63min: Well there's a spanner in the works of Messi's potential hat-trick. He's going off!
It's just to rest the Barca star, who gives the captains' armband to Javier Mascherano before being loudly applauded off by the Argentine fans as Ricardo Alvarez replaces him.
18:19
60min: Messi is closing in on a hat-trick but he's not quite there yet as a diving header from a low Rojo cross flies wide at the near post.
Third time lucky: Marcos Rojo helps divert the ball home to give Argentina the lead for the third time Time to celebrate: Marcos Rojo of Argentina (left) celebrates scoring his team's third goal
18:18
58min: Some relief for Nigeria, not on the pitch - Argentina are all over them, but from the other game as Bosnia now lead 2-0 over Iran. The Super Eagles' place in the last 16 looks assured.
18:16
From InfostradaLive
18:14
53min: And another booking for Nigeria as Juwon Oshaniwa is cautioned for a foul. No need to panic for the Super Eagles, they STILL go through as it stands.
18:09
GOAL! Nigeria 2-3 ARGENTINA
50min: So can Nigeria hold on? Well... no.
Shortly after Kenneth Omeruo is booked for a foul, Marcos Rojo is found in space inside the box from a corner to divert the ball home with ease.
That strike came moments after Di Maria's latest long range strike was well tipped over by Enyeama.
Making a point or two: Ahmed Musa of Nigeria celebrates scoring his second goal of the game
18:06
GOAL! NIGERIA 2-2 Argentina
47min: Goodness me, the Argentina centre-backs are wider than the Grand Canyon but take nothing away Ahmed Musa who has struck again for Nigeria!
Emmanuel Emenike lays the ball into the path of the forward who bursts into the box before slotting past Romero.
18:06
SECOND-HALF: Away we go again - no changes

18:00
PLAYER WATCH: Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Let's focus on Messi's positives though. The goals have been good, but the forward has been heavily involved too in his usual position playing just behind the striker on the right.
Here's his heat map from the first half.

Argentina arguably shaded that first half. Di Maria's been a constant threat from midfield but there is no doubt who the star of the show has been.
Lionel Messi once again is head and shoulders above his team-mates and it's his two goals that give Argentina a 2-1 lead over Nigeria.
The good news for Nigeria is they are still joining the South American side in the last 16 with Bosnia still beating Iran in the other game.
17:49
From Sportsmail's Matt Lawton in Porto Alegre
'Oh I don’t know. I think Messi’s doing okay in this tournament.'
17:49
HALF-TIME: Nigeria 1-2 Argentina
Leaving it late: Lionel Messi of Argentina scores his team's second goal on the cusp of half-time
17:46
GOAL! Nigeria 1-2 ARGENTINA
45+1min: He does end with a bang! And it's a video game-esque perfection strike again! With another free-kick, Lionel Messi goes for the near post top corner again, only this time Enyeama doesn't even try to dive to keep it out. Messi has finally arrived at a World Cup - and boy is it good to see!
17:46
From Sportsmail's Matt Lawton in Porto Alegre
'Aguero did look happy limping off there. A concern for Manchester City, certainly.'
17:45
44min: He started the half with a bang and he nearly finishes with one. Like he's playing a video game, Messi curls a powerful free-kick towards the top corner which Enyeama somehow reaches to keep out the Nigeria net.
17:41
From former England striker Gary Lineker on Twitter
17:39
Argentina substitution
38min: But before it's taken, Sergio Aguero is seen sitting down on the turf needing treatment.
Argentina physios come on to attend to the Manchester City striker but he cannot continue and he limps off to be replaced by Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Nigeria's free-kick results to nothing.
Under pressure: Sergio Aguero of Argentina controls the ball against Ogenyi Onazi of Nigeria
17:37
36min: Opportunity knocks for Nigeria as they win a free-kick wide on the right of the penalty box after Javier Mascherano brings down Emmanuel Emenike.
17:35
From Sportsmail's Matt Lawton in Porto Alegre
'With 200,000 Argentina fans said to be here in Porto Alegre, the atmosphere is terrific.'
17:32
30min: You feel a goal must be coming for Di Maria soon - he's getting closer.  A low 25-yard shot looks destined for the bottom corner until Enyeama dives to his right at full stretch to tip the ball behind.
17:30
From InostradaLive
17:27
27min: Close but no cigar. Angel di Maria has his shooting boots on today by the looks of things, but his low effort across goal drags just wide with Lionel Messi sliding in late to narrowly miss out on making a touch to turn the ball home.
At the other end, Peter Odemwingie adopts a shoot-on-sight policy, one which on this occasion ends with him firing a rising 30-yard effort over the bar.
Out to block: Nigeria's goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama dives in on a wide shot by Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain
17:26
24min: And the news just gets better for Nigeria. Bosnia have taken the lead against Iran, meaning as it stands the African side would go through to the last 16 even if they lose this match. You can follow Bosnia and Iran's clash using the link at the top of the page.
17:22
21min: It's all gone a bit flat again for Argentina. Nigeria looked slightly stretched at the back after equalising but the African side have settled since and look very comfortable.
The crowd remain quiet with the South American side not playing with any tempo to help liven them up.
Expectation: Argentina's supporters cheer for their team inside the Estadio Beira-Rio
17:19
18min: So as it stands both Argentina and Nigeria will reach the last 16, and those two early goals mean the drawing of lots cannot happen between Iran and Nigeria. Good news, only football should decide who goes through.
17:17
15min: That was the first goal Nigeria had conceded all tournament, and as this match progresses I would wager it's not the last time their net will be hit this afternoon.
Nigeria haven't had an attack since Musa's stunning equaliser as they attempt to soak up Argentina pressure.
17:13
From Sportsmail's Matt Lawton in Porto Alegre
'Sabella has accused his players of relying too much on Messi but in their position I’d probably lean on him a bit.'
Instant reply: Ahmed Musa (left) of Nigeria scores his team's equaliser Mobbed: Ahmed Musa (right) of Nigeria celebrates scoring his team's equaliser
17:12
A couple of interesting stats for you as the game hits a mini-lull
17:10
9min: But now Argentina are cooking. Angel Di Maria's powerful long range effort is parried away by Vincent Enyeama, before Gonzalo Higuain breaks through one-on-one moments later only to fire wide at an acute angle to goal.
Three in a row: Lionel Messi of Argentina scores his team's first goal past Vincent Enyeama On fire: Lionel Messi of Argentina celebrates scoring his team's opening goal inside three minutes
17:08
7min: Quite incredibly, it's like those two goals never happened. The crowd have gone a bit flat and the game has resumed with a slow paced battle in midfield.
17:07
From OptaJoe
17:04
GOAL! NIGERIA 1-1 Argentina
4min: And there was me expecting a 0-0 draw - Nigeria hit back with a sizzler! Michel Babatunde attacks through the centre before feeding Ahmed Musa on the left side of the box.
There the forward cuts inside before arcing a beauty across goal and into the top corner. Even the Argentina fans are applauding that one!
17:02
GOAL! Nigeria 0-1 ARGENTINA
3min: So much for the draw! Angel di Maria's low near post shot cannons off the keeper and the post, and the ball rebounds for Lionel Messi who fires past a sea of green defenders to score for the third World Cup match running.
17:01

Nigeria and Iran's fate could rely on a coin toss! Read more here

Back in the old days, FIFA would decide these sorts of things with a play-off match, but times have changed and we could have a situation where Nigeria and Iran finish on identical records.
1-0 wins for Iran and Argentina would leave the Asian aside and Nigeria with identical records across the board, requiring a drawing of lots to decide who would progress to the last 16.
