Last Updated: Monday, December 13th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Bomb blast at Ngige’s lodge: The other story   Following the widely publicised bomb blast at the official residence of Governor Chris Ngige of Anambra State, there are indications of an in-house struggle between the “Ngige clique” which may have led to the bomb blast. Though it is well known that the Governor’s opponents are not resting on their oars in trying to unseat him, this recent bomb blast has even made them curious. It was authoritatively gathered that the Governor’s personal aides, selected from the Anambra State Vigilante Service (AVS), due to the absence of police protection, were recently given a signal that they would soon be dropped since the Governor’s official security apparatus has been restored. Apart from this development, sources close to the Governor says Ngige has been worried by the incessant manner in which AVS operatives release gunshots while on convoy without any concrete reason. For instance, when the senate committee on State and Local Government Administration visited Awka to inspect the extent of damage to Government property during the last Anambra crisis, while the inspection was going on, the AVS operatives started shooting sporadically to the utter embarrassment of both the Governor and the visiting Senators. Having contemplated on how to deal with the unwholesome behaviour of the AVS operatives, the Governor was apparently relieved when the Court of Appeal in Enugu restored all his rights and privileges. To this extent, according to sources, the Appeal Court judgement would mean no more job and no pay. The source reasoned that the boys-quarters from where the explosion occurred is the residence of the AVS operatives and they always swarm the area. So how could it be that an opposition member penetrated to that extent, the source asked. Similarly, it was the AVS boys who immediately jumped into the surrounding bush to comb the area. The whole matter remained suspicious as the inside source ruled out the blast as emanating from the opposition camp.   Chibuike Nwabueze, Awka   Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
