Gunmen Kill Soldier In JTF, Bokoharam Clash by Tolexander: 4:33am On Dec 30, 2012
VIOLENCE continued in Maiduguri,
the Borno State capital, as
gunmen, suspected to be
members of the Boko Haram
sect, attacked the military post
attached to telecom masts and a
primary school in Bolori ward,
killing a soldier and injuring
another in an exchange of
gunfire that lasted for half an
hour on Friday.
According to an eyewitness, the
gunmen ambushed the soldiers
guarding the GSM telecom masts
and school, before opening fire
on them. The shoot-out at the
Chezcon area lasted for 30
minutes, forcing residents to flee.
The area was later cordoned off
by the Joint Task Force (JTF).
He said one of the soldiers was
killed, while the injured one was
carried away in one of the patrol
vehicles to the University of
Maiduguri Teaching Hospital
(UMTH) for treatment of gunshot
wounds sustained in the clash.
The Guardian also leant that the
roads and streets leading to the
Area, Federal Low-cost Housing
Estate, and the Ibrahim Taiwo
Police Station, that was attacked
and repelled last week, were
however, cordoned off to
prevent further killings.
Although there was no official
confirmation of the killing from
the spokesman of JTF, Lt. Col
Sagir Musa, a relation of the slain
soldier said, in a telephone chat,
that “the Military authorities had
contacted us on the sad news of
our brother’s killing in Maiduguri.
The JTF said Mohammed (my
brother) died in Maiduguri and
we are awaiting further details
from them.”
He said he was not certain on the
circumstances surrounding the
death, adding that: “they did not
actually tell us how he died…they
only said he died yesterday
(Friday).”
When contacted to confirm the
Friday attack, JTF spokesman,
Lt.Col Musa, in an SMS to The
Guardian, simply said: “Not true.”

Pls., I beg all you neighbours, friends, relatives and asssociates of these various sect. groups, help the Nigerian government and people to end these incessant waste of lives and embrace peace. Lay down your arms and accept dialogue.
These unrests are costing our dear nation so much both at home and in the international community. Let's give peace a chance.
