it was horror yesterday night around 8pm as an Igbo businessman, popularly known as Okonkwo, in the town of Azare in Bauchi State was closing his shop for the day, some gunmen then came and shot the man, one of his daughters and an apprentice boy dead!
The popular businessman had lost a son during the post-election violence in Azare. People are blaming armed robbers for the attack on the man.

Is this true or joke? i hope it is a joke.

Whether true or false, Igbos targeted and killed in Northern Nigeria.

And what was the Igbo businessman still doing in Bauchi in this present boko haram dispensation? Why hasn't he relocated at least his family all this while. Hmmmm. BTW, may his soul RIP

A rumour is circulating in town that the emir has received a letter that all xtian business people must leave town or be killed one by one, either in their home or their business premises.
No smoke without fire, there is tension in town!

Mind you, he is not the only non-indigine in town, there are still hundreds of other tribes that are not muslims in town, either as a civil servant or business people. I think the remaining part of his family has now moved down to anambra!

TWO men and a woman were on Sunday evening shot dead by a gang of armed men in Azare, the headquarters of Katagun Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that one of the victims, an Igbo trader, was said to have closed for the day and was locking his shop at about 6.00p.m. when the gunmen arrived and opened fire on him, alongside his apprentice and a woman at the scene.
It was, however, not clear whether the gunmen, whose number was unknown as of the time of filing this report, made away with anything from the deceased's shop.
Confirming the incident to newsmen, Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Mallam Mohammed Ladan, stated that the attackers were armed robbers, adding that three persons were killed.
The killing of the three on Sunday brought the number of people killed in Azare within one month to seven.
A former Controller-General of Prisons, Alhaji Ibrahim Jarma, was earlier shot by a two-man gang in front of his house in Azare. He later died at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi, where he was taken for treatment.
A prison warder was also killed in the operation at the former prisons boss’s house, while another was injured.
Two policemen attached to the house of a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and father of the state deputy governor, Alhaji Aminu Saleh, were also attacked and killed by gunmen who made away with their rifles.]

The above tribune report is not correct! The incidence occured arond 8pm.
The three of them were shot in cold blood, in their car, as they were about
heading home.
The lady among d victims is not a bystander, as d report wants us to beleive, but the daughter of the igbo man

cogitoErgo: A rumour is circulating in town that the emir has received a letter that all xtian business people must leave town or be killed one by one, either in their home or their business premises.

May God have mercy on Nigeria o!
