From TIMOTHY OLA, Maiduguri
Two days after gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram struck in Potiskum, Yobe State, suspected members of the dreaded sect, yesterday set ablaze a middle-aged man in neighbouring Maiduguri, Borno State capital. The victim was said to have been burnt in his residence, owned by one Usman, and located around Polo area of the city. Narrating the incident, a resident in the area who preferred anonymity told Daily Sun:
“The attackers came at about 2am. Dogs were barking seriously when they arrived and everybody around the area woke up because of the way the dogs were barking. I think the attackers decided to force their ways into the compound through the gate since they could not scale the fence.
There fence had barb-wires on it. “Having sensed danger, the victim was said to have located an opening in the ceiling in one of the rooms and hid himself there. After several threats, and the family could not produce the man, the attackers evacuated the wife and children and set the house ablaze with the man, still hiding in the ceiling,” the eye witness claimed. Meanwhile, there have been conflicting claims over the fate that befell the victim, with some residents claiming that the man might have been a victim of a botched business transaction. “May be he had problem with somebody over issues of loans or business because he works with Nigeria Agriculture Insurance Company,”
JTF spokesman, Lt Col Sagir Musa confirmed the incident but did not give details. He however, promised to avail reporters of more information when arrests are made. On Monday this week, Potiskum, in neighbouring Yobe State literally came under fire with two houses, three schools, and 14 vehicles set ablaze by suspected Boko Haram arsonists. The coordinated attacks which were launched at 2 am time, the same hour the Maiduguri incident happened also claimed four lives, and the homes of the Customs Area Comptroller, Alhaji Yusuf Umar, and a member of the House of Representatives, which were set ablaze.
May their soul rest in peace

Sam u r mad wt such comment, if u r a police man will u like to go dia?
On this particular case,where are the police.We live in a new world where we have cell phones and internet.The police should have their phone nos out there 24hrs, so that the ppl can call the commisioner of police and their DPOs.I don,t see why these boko haram ppl can comitt these attrocities for 2hrs and yet we cannot find the police.This is a shame to commisioner of polce in this state.SHAME POLICE CP.
Sam wil u accept going to borno if u were a policeman.
God will not fail to deliver us from the hands of these evil ones. fellow Nigerians, only God has the answer/solution to all our problems.
Nkwe Sam U̶̲̥̅̊ are very stupid! Send whch police to where? The police in north should remain they qed
What a world, brothers killing brothers. Lives and properties are no longer protected. What is actually happening in Muslim states of Nigeria. Why is it not hard for these monsters to kill even their own. May God have mercy on them.
The security system in the north has been too porous and so apprehensive, yet people are just living as though nothing is happening. Why?
Sam, u would’ve been right, but it remain small. All d s/east police should be sent to dia area b/cos they’re not familiar wt de operatn of boko haram, while northerners should go dere n fight wt dey started
God help us in dis nation
Core northern police should be sent to there area to maintain peace there. no police of ibo extraction should go there!. instead soldiers of SE extraction should be sent there and I will advice them to kill them all
Nke bu eziokwu. http://www.radiobiafralondononline.com
The police and the military are really working what of the large quantity of arms and ammunition they are recovery almost on daily bases from boko haram, they the police are humanbeings the need suport and encouragement from us so that they will work more. May GoD Bless Nigeria.
Police nobi robot o! Na flesh and blood like us..let the northern police men remain dia..atleast they kn d terain more dan d others.
Nigeria which way?
When boko attacked govt agencies they were applauded by nothern big names who thought making Nigeria ungovernable wil stop at GEJ the tide is now facing them yet you. Yes you. I mean you that have refuse to give police useful info. On these bad eggs you may be the next victim. I am warning you. Now is the right time to join other good nigerians to fight boko haram.
are u sure all dis killing are real? if it is true, is it not somebody dat is sponsoring them. let them killing demself, there is a reward.
The problem is not from security, northern people don’t want to tell the truth, ask police men in Anambra state they will tell you that all their work has been help by Anambra people, the people of the north know who is who in their states let them tell security agent the turth.
It’s sign of de end time. Let’s b prepard 4 d Lord’s coming…
If s/east police goes there,there wont b mercy. It will b shoot @ sight. Northern police themslves are bokoharm and try too show mercy on their idiot boko killers. Infact,jonathan shd send only xtian soldiers to n/east for total eliminatn of boko haram
What is actually happening to my so called fatherland. Anyway, “there was a country”
God God God everytime. Parents should identify bad eggs in their homes and begin to teach them the right way if they refuse there must be a national behaviour police now made up of pastors and imams and disciplinarians to teach them a lesson. We need a post code addressing system to know where everyone lives. Yes God, but He gave us brains. Start from the home.
Even with the presence of JTF all these things are still happening. Wow!

May God save us from evil doers whenever they planned their evils. Nigeria will for ever remain as one country. May God bless Nigeria.
Nawaooo which kind country we de so,people do not have sympathy for human lives. Abeg make God help dis nation.
sam, u dont reason fine, instead of u to advocate the removal of this abokis in mobile uniform collecting 50 naira from innocent motorist from the east to maiduguri, u want sourthern police to go and die for those uncircumcised mallams. dont u think they are reaping from what they have sown? we are all here crying boko haram not knowing that their elites are the chief architect of what is happening. God will not allow this people to go unpurnished for desecrating the house of GOD and killing innocent chritians.
GOOD MORNING NIGERIANS .OJUKWU IS GREETING AND SENDING HIS SINCERE REGARDS FROM HEAVEN.HE WENT FOR SIGHT SEEING AND PRAYERS WITH JESUS CHRIS YESTERDAY NIGHT.HIS MESSAGE THIS MORNING, NIGERIANS SHOULD ACCEPT THE TRUTH AND BE FREE ,NOW THAT I AM WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ,YOU HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES THAN EVER .REMAIN BLESSED MY PEOPLE.
Those in the house shuld call their boys to order.
The North is a very BIG weight on Nigeria. For Nigeria to travel far and fast, it must travel light!
The problem of security and insecurity in the north is in the hands of the northerns..the no who is bad and who is not among them..if the can only let this known to police, for sure the will know peace. @ SAM think twice before you give yöur opinion.. May God because of the good once among them save Nigeria.
our leaders should keep deceiving themselves, since they know the sponsorers of these bokoharramers and refuse to expose them because of their selfish political interest, they might just be next on the line for their target…God help them
Naija di egwu.
Pls ppl help me beg dis so called IGP 2 released dat transfer he do last time so dat we can kno how many of his personnel dt r ready 4 job abi no b so ?
God help us.
Police is for our security. However, the present Boko Haram situation is far beyond what a sensible human being will leave for police alone. In Anambra State Vigilante is very strong. It is all the indigenous people helping police. They carry gun and knife and fight the evil people. Northerners know their people better. Let the Northern elites take a decision to stop Boko and they will mobilize their people to assist the police. The funny thing is that many of the elites have been killed by Boko yet they are quiet. Yes, because it is religion. Well, they go to Paradise when they are killed. Both the bloody killer and the victim murdered in cold blood, all go to paradise, they are brainwashed. They want killing to become their life style. It is very unfortunate. Do they say they do not know who is sponsoring these Bokos! It is a shame that the Northerners want Government to do everything for them.
Kidnapping in the South is being controlled by natives, not Police alone. In the North they want the Police to do it alone. We are gradually getting to a point where the Northerners who are Police will go to the North and the Southerners will go to the South. Then everybody will sit up.
Nkwe sam and Nwa chelsea both of u are crazy and parochial.is pol nt uman bE,u wt derm2 go dere without alawance.If u don knw advice f fed govt2 help dem 2 b digitalize,not2 depend only on informAtion.u are talking on transfer so dat u ll b free 2 do wht ever u feel like doing!u self travel and see.or go anD spend 2weeks.

There we go again. Have you seen where our leaders(?) live, They live in fortresses, when they venture out, they drive in bullet proof jeeps and race at brake neck speed with fiery eyed gun toting goons who glower menacingly.
