Gunmen kill 9 in fresh attacks

•Police station, school, LG chairman’s residence razed

From TIMOTHY OLA, Maiduguri

Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram yesterday attacked a Divisional Police Station at Kala/Balge, Gen Mamman Shuwa’s Local Government, North of Borno, killing five policemen while a police officer was wounded. Sources said the gunmen who came to Rann, the centre of the attack used Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the early hours of yesterday.

Rann is about 292 kilometers north of Maiduguri, the state capital. According to a police source, some property destroyed in yesterday’s attacks include a boarding primary school, the local Government Lodge and the official residence of the council chairman. Sources also hinted that some telecom masts were destroyed while some arms were also carted away.

A resident of Rann said the attackers took the policemen unawares and launched the offensive with IEDs as soon as they arrived the police station in the early hours of yesterday. He said by 6am the police station and three other public property, including the residence of the council chairman were still burning even as smoke billowed from the ruined buildings.

In another attack on a beer parlour around the Bayan Quarters, Maiduguri, four people including two women attendants were reportedly shot dead. The Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Borno State Police Command, Gideon Jibrin in a telephone conversation with journalists, confirmed said that there were the two incidents though he did not give further details.

    How can police give security to the innocent civilians since they can not even protect themselves. All the reported attacks on police stations were 100% successful and arms being carted away. BH now goes to police station to refill their stock. Where are we heading to?

    It is no longer Boko Haram…! But different group with different mission.

      I think is the Igbo or Biafra that is killing all these Northerners/Muslims. How can the Hausa be killing their own beloved so much. Habah. If we had our own man in Aso Rock, this thing would have stopped. The foolish Goodluck Ebele AZIKIWE Jonathan is really an Igbo man. He is hiding behind his mothers people of Ijaw. Chikana! tell us the truth who is killing our people. why dint you do OBJ style? Odinize them

        without being told, your useless names suggests where you are coming from. Biafra has come to stay and muntulas like you cant do anything. So its better for your Boko Haram to be killing others rather than their own brothers? Shame on you.

    LET BOKO HARAM KILL OFF ALL THE MEMBERS OF NIGERIA POLICE. USELESS POLICE THAT CANNOT FIGHT AND DEFEAT TERROR BUT CAN ARREST AND IMPRISON INNOCENT BZM MEMBERS NEED TO BE WIPE OUT. POLICE ONLY DO NONSENSE IN BIAFRA LAND BUT BEING DECIMATED AND MURDER ANYHOW BY BOKO HARAM. SHAME TO NIGERIA POLICE.

    @prince Jimmy, if mr president declares a mass recruitment of police and other forces to confront this problem, will you join anyone of them? If police have failed, you rise up and protect yourself b4 boko haram will reach your doorstep and that of some senseless others like you

    The stupid Amnesty International will not call boko-idiots to order now! It is when they are killed by the JTF that they will blame them for killing extra-judicially. The Police are paying for their careless attitude to work. Why won’t all the security agencies be at alert 24/7 all over the country, knowing that there are several forms of criminal gangs that could attack them at any time. Why would all the men be in the premises(whether day or night)? Some ought to be strategically positioned outside the premises because they would be the ones to resist/repell the criminals in case of attack. I am a ‘bloody civilian’ but I don’t need to go to Police/Army school to know the basics.

    Okon, u can say dat again, Boko Haram cannot come near South/South. Its a fact. That would be suicidal for them.
    Thanks for that piece Okon.

    It is getting more interesting by the day. The NE of Nigeria should be conceded to Boo Haram. Non natives should get the hell out. The native christian population must fight if they want to survive. The Middle Belt folks must get aggressive with drawing the line on where and what they want for their future generations.
    Freedom and survival are not free and require some sacrifice. BH will not stop and will not change. People must take their destinies in their own hands. Very soon, the police will start to desert, or refuse posting to BH infested areas, because they are nothing but sitting ducks.
