Barely 24 hours after the assassination of the General Manager of Borno Housing Corporation (BOHC) in Maiduguri, some suspected members of the Boko Haram sect, on Friday, attacked two houses in Abaganaram ward, slicing the throats of two residents.

The attack occured at about a kilometre, East of the corporation’s office complex, where the slain general manager, Isa Madu Ngaram, was killed by suspected gunmen on Wednesday.

A resident of the area, who craved anonymity, alleged that “three suspected gunmen walked into the area and demanded whereabouts of the residents of the houses.

“But none of us responded to the suspects’ enquiries, as all of us rushed into our houses because of the 7 pm to 6 am curfew. Two hours later, we heard wailing, without the sounds of gun shots and firing experienced during previous exchanges of gunfire between the Joint Task Force (JTF) and the terrorists in Abaganaram and Budum wards,” he said.

Speaking on the incident, the spokesman of JTF, Lt. Col Sagir Musa, said that he received reports of the attack in the affected ward on Friday morning.

He, however, said that no arrests had been made by either the Task Force or police, adding that the attacked houses were among the black spots identified by JTF in the Maiduguri metropolis.

Confirming the killings, the Borno State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Gideon Jibrin also said the killings occurred barely a few minutes to 7pm.

SLICING THROAT OF RESIDENTS IN BORNO
written by TUNJI OMO AWO, July 07, 2012

This is another dimention this sect has taken, to silent the residents from given imformation to security agents as regards their activities, this means that it will be difficult for the security agents to curb the menace. Who can fight for ALLAH? This sect is devil ! My view, is for the govt. agencies to take decissive measure in caging the rampagging Lion from devouring more innocent lives by means of mounting tight border lines that led to North Eastern region without delay, becos if u allow the children let loose out of that zone then, it means there will be no NIgeria again, reason is that other southern part is infiltrated, there is going be repraisal that may metamophorsed into ethinicity not religious as we may think. If the security agents compromise this time they will regret it later as their family will be involved at a later date .

SLICING THROAT OF RESIDENTS IN BORNO
written by Abdul, July 07, 2012

No sane nation dialogue with terrosist group especially when the group has been infilterated by foreigners. Nigerian government is dead and it is waiting for its own burial. The solution to this menace is, use a state or two in the north as example by declaring real state of emergencies and not local government emergency as introduced by Jonathan administration, this I believe would serve as a positive step to stop this madness. This is a clear ethnic and political war as no state government establishment in the north has been attacked by these murderers.Jonathan should be a man and take serious actions to save the lives of innocent Nigerians. Boko Haram are not MUSLIMS, all they do go against Islam doctrine. prophet Muhammad in one of his hadiths says; "Allah the Most Exhalted, has revealed to me that you should show courtesy and be cordial with each other, so that nobody should consider himself superior to another or HARM HIM"

All the people in the North in particular the Southerners residing in the North must now defend themself. buy your own weapon, revolver, AK47, R45 are their in black market, buy one and keep it, let all your household know how to handle it. So if anyone come to attack you, defend yourself without hesitations.
