‘I hid inside disused tyres and watched gunmen kill my people’
From NOAH EBIJE and ABDULGAFAR ALABELEWE, Kaduna
More facts emerged yesterday on how the bloody attack on Dogon Dawa village near Birnin Gwari town in Kaduna State was executed, leading to the death of no fewer than 25 people. The Chief Imam of Dogon Dawa community, Malam Muhammad said he took cover inside some old tyres that were abandoned near the mosque and watched how the gunmen numbering about a 100, shot and killed early morning worshippers who were coming out of the mosque at dawn.
“The killers were saying they came to make real their threat, they shot and killed even children; it was sad indeed,” he said. Also speaking to newsmen, the traditional title holder of Danlawan Birnin Gwari in Dogon Dawa, Alhaji Abdurauf who could not hide his anger said, a former governorship aspirant, Alhaji Shuaibu Mikati, had earlier alerted the police to the threats to life and property in the area by armed bandits but nothing was done until the dawn attack on Sunday which had turned the entire area into deep sorrow and mourning.
According to him, Mikati had written a letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), alerting him to the threat issued by the escaping gunmen who had vowed to unleash terror in the area. He said Mikati had also in the letter, appealed to the police to upgrade the police post at Dogon Dawa to the status of a police station but that was not done.
The traditional ruler also noted that the police gradually withdrew the six policemen stationed at the police post, which eventually led to the closure of the police post. “Sadly, the letter was acknowledged by the police authorities but instead of action to be taken, we only saw the six policemen in Dogon Dawa police post leaving. The authorities were duly informed.
That was three weeks before this attack,” he alleged. He lamented that although the vigilance group in the area had been doing its best, four of their members with link to a nearby Kuyello village were fingered by the gunmen and their associates, who accused them of giving the police sensitive information on the activities of the armed bandits in the area and were slaughtered. “The four were fished out by the gunmen and murdered in cold blood.
The police authorities knew about it. It is sad development,” he alleged. He expressed the hope that perhaps, the latest attack would compel the authorities to deploy police and other security agents to the area. Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State yesterday visited the community to ensure the criminals were apprehended.
The governor who shelved his plan to travel abroad returned to the village from Abuja told members of the community in trembling voice that, “the state will do all within its power to round up those who carried out the dastardly act.”
According to Yakowa who visited the village in company with the GOC, 1 Mechanised Division, Major General Garba A. Wahab, state Director of SSS, Mr. Yomi Zamba, Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Adenaike, Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Commission and member representing Birnin Gwari in the state assembly, Aliyu Balarebe Jigo, the perpetrators of the attack would not go unpunished.
Nigeria’s we always deceive ourselves after an atrocities was committed saying the perpetrators of the attack would not go unpunished. putting in mine that “The police authorities knew about it” then what are they going to do???? when they were the perpetrators? It’s a pity that common Niger republic here such a thing can never happen.
Please my brothers and sisters lets stop all this talk talk, just go to . http://www.radiobiafralondononline.com eg if you phone have internet ass . every thursday and saturday 9pm LIVE or you can listen to the last previous broadcast . EZIOKWU BU NDU

It is sad when human life is taken this way. No matter how we call it, or carried out this bastard act, killing is not good. If the muslims see this kind of killings are not good, please, let us exposed even those producing bombs in Maiduguri, cos it is for innocent christians.
Allah ya gikasu da rahma ameen !!!!!

Nemesis is catcing up wit some people. D wicked deserve catastrophy.
Ojo (ina ezuzu ezuzu)Biafra must have it’s way!!!
Surely he who kills with sword shall be killed by sword ,there is no two ways about it .what type of wicked mind is that? The perpetrators of this heinous crime shall not go unpunished .

@sheegun God punish ur race for saying that
@Ojo God punish ur race for saying that
As l sympathize with the people of Birnin Gwari l’ll equally advise them to respect the police a bit. I’m sure the reason why there is no police station there is because at every crisis they they try to kill the police and burn down their stations.
OJO, BIAFRA WAS NOT PREPARED DURING THE WAR TIME, BUT THIS TIME ARROUND OJO I BET YOU, HELL WILL GET LOSE, LAGOS WILL SINK, ALL YERUBA LAND WILL SINK TO ATLANTIC OCEAN, OJO I BET YOU, YORUBA NEVER WITNESS WAR, BUT THIS TIME AROUND I THINK THE ATOMIC MISSILE THAT WAS THROWN IN HEROSHIMA JAPAN WILL BE LIKE ATOM TO YERUBA LAND WHAT WE WILL DO IN SUCH USELESS BASTARD AREA, OJO YOU SO USELESS AND FOOLISH IDIOT, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE THE SON OF YOUR FATHER THE ORIGINAL CRIMINAL IN NIGERIA CALLED AWOLOWO, WHO STEAL ALL IGBO;S MONEY, BUT TODAY WHAT HAPPENED CAN YOU OJO COMPARE ANY YERUBA MAN TO IGBO? SHAME TO YOU FOOLISH USELESS BASTARD SCANDALOUR RAPIST SET OF IDIOT, OJO YOU WILL DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and probably be wondering
what the heck is it all about or
that it is a scam,or illuminati
stuff like one of my gf called it.
But its not!
Its purely NETWORKING
Well lemme break it down
Netcontacts

it is an
online

Boko haram is back-firing on northerners. This is just the beginning. You want to own a bomb factory? Go to northern states of Nigeria and they’ll help you quickly. They’ve good workers in that aspect. For more information, call IBB, ATIKU, BUHARI on 666. Lol.
This is just da beginning,noth vs north,Muslim vs Muslim,hahahahahaha ,thank Godoooooo.una never see
What you expect the police who was afraid to face the heat of fire from the Fulani extremists to do. I have earlier made my submissions, IG of police in Kaduna metropolis has a case to answer as long as the recent barbaric killing of 25 in Kaduna is concerned. The police should be charge for negligence. The report has it on good record time that the police were put on a red alert/extent of being duly informed in writing about the reprisal attack, but in their usual lackadaisical attitude to their national callings neglected such information and now it has caused the lives of innocent citizens whose taxes were used to serve the agency. The nation’s security is porous and the police are not helping the matter. The IG should be brought to book and made to answer for his security lapses.
ojo, Biafra will fight again and this time around Bakassi people will be on the lead. What Ojukwu told the Bakassi has come to pass and today they are crying spilled milk? It is late. As for radio Biafra it is on and Biafra its life is alive. We are just waiting for our brother Jonathan Goodluck to complete his tenure and if power fails to come to the people of South east, they have no option than to collaborate with the people of Bakassi oil rich and declare a State of Biafra. Thank God Bakassi people have learnt their lesson, but regrettably in harder way. Sorry ooo!! .
