Fresh killings in Kano

From DESMOND MGBOH, Kano

A policeman, a vigilante officer and a civilian were feared killed, yesterday, when a gang of gunmen launched an attack on a livestock market in Wudil town, Kano State, about 30 minutes away from the state capital.

Saturday Sun gathered that the attack came immediately after the Jumat prayers and at the peak of the market, sparking off fresh panic across the town and the surrounding villages and communities.

A fourth victim, who survived the tragedy, was injured and has been rushed to the hospital, revealed an eyewitness who confessed that the suspects were about 15 in number.  The eyewitness said that upon their arrival at the market, the gunmen shot sporadically into the air to scare off the traders before shooting their victims.

He, however, added that the prompt arrival of security operatives, who engaged the attackers in a gun duel, reduced the number of casualties.  Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police Magaji Magiya confirmed that only two people, among  them a police officer, died as a result of the incident.

He described it as a case of robbery, adding that the suspects had attempted to rob the market before they were stopped.  The police PRO said that following the arrival of policemen, the suspects fled into the bush, with some of them sustaining gunshot wounds. He said that the whole area had been cordoned off by the police, who, as at press time, were on the trial of the suspects.

      which type of deplomacy are christains are doing or are we actually afraid of muslims; it is impossible for any muslim to build a church rather there are burning and distroying the existing ones in the north suported by their respective government; Christains especially politicians should stop promoting muslims felt superiority over christians for it is not real;

      It is wrong to say Mohammed is a terrorist. It quite very unchristian. We do not judge. I expect Nwabufo as a knight of St. John international to be civil in his comment. There is nothing wrong about Muslim religion. It is only being abused by it’s followers. I have interacted with many moslems and found them very nice people.

    if the northerners do not want any other tribe to dwell among them we all should leave the north for them and by the special grace of God they will rise up against themselves and kill themselves too. I do not believe it is a robbery attack it is one of the usual attacks taking place after their friday prayer.

      Prophet Mohammed is not a terrorist and can never be. The followers are the problem just like any other faith.pls be guided in your comment. Millions of Moslems are good. We should show respect to their religion and the Prophet. Do u wonder why many of their women answer Mariam….It is the respect they show to Mary, the mother of Jesus, the author of our faith as Christians. On behalf of all Christian, I apologise to all the moslems for the careless statement from Nwabufo.

    God has already revealed for long. Those killing in the north are Igbos. They are doing that in other to course confusion that will lead to actualization of Biafra. The Northerners have already know. We are watching.

    Whether we accept it or not, the truth of Boko haram is politically motivated. I believe that no true worshiper of God will derive pleasure in the killing of souls be it a muslim or a christian. God will help us.

    Mohamed is not a terrorist, but a blood-thirsty monster. Tell me which religion prays and rushes out to go and kill innocent people that did not offend them in any way. Thereafter the cowbrains among them would tell you how islam is a religion of ‘peace’. What a bunch of satanic goatheads.

    Islam is religion of peace, no any muslim who practice true Islam will ever insult Jesus Christ cos true muslim believe in his words and as a prophet of God.@Natanyawu and Biafra, your problem is illitracy, never travel outside ur village born and brought up in a premitive community never understand any Yoruba or Hausas culture. Ur words are evil cos u sound like one who practice no any religion.ur type are the one doing the killings and robbery in area like Kano, Kaduna,Maiduguri and Lagos.

    Usman Ayuba, pls. tell me why most moslem countries are always kiling, the only news you can hear about Arab countries is bomb blast every day. Aghganistan, pakistan, yemen,libya Egypt, Turkey,mali, Iran, Iraq,Tunisia Morrocco, Northern Nigeria etc, the peoplpe doing this are all adherent of Islam. Apart from christianity, Buhhdist JUdaism Hindu etc practice peacefully and co-habit with others.
