RESIDENTS of Dala Alemderi ward in Maiduguri metropolis were again thrown into confusion on Tuesday between 6.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m., following the killing of four people by suspected members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

An eyewitness told the Nigerian Tribune that the gunmen came on a motorcycle and fired some shots into the air to scare the people before they went ahead to open fire on four innocent citizens.Nigerian Tribune gathered that one Dr Michael, a member of Deeper Life Bible Church, Bullumkuttu, was killed in his shop, as well as one Obinna and his brother, who were also patent medicine sellers in the community. A certain Mr James was also said to have been shot in the back while about entering Obinna’s shop to buy medicine.

Nigerian Tribune spoke with the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Lawal Abdullahi on phone and he said that he also heard of the incident but that he could not speak on the situation as the police were still waiting for report on the incident from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area.

Meanwhile, the area has been deserted as people, particularly Christians living around Dala Alemderi, told the Nigerian Tribune that most of the attacks in Dala Alemderi of late were targeted at them, and as such, they felt they were no longer safe.

Attempts to get the Borno State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Jinjiri Abubakar, were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

These Northerners have started again. I just mentioned Boko Haram and now look. These people are crazy I tell you. Why is the South-East still united with these Muslim radicals?

There must be some way, that we can separate ourselves. I hate that we Christianized Igbos have to be associated with these buffoons up North.

And they are targeting Christians! Igbos, we know what must be done. These dammn people!

Shooting an unarmed man and shooting a man at the back!

COWARDS!

Surprise, Surprise.

Boko Haram stands for COWARDS !!!!!


People who fight behind children and women are not real men, but cowards.

If they are so brave and want to carry out Jihad, let them come out in full force.

FOOLS.

U see brethren it is unfortunate to hear such things happen by few radicals that tarnishes the image of the north and Nigeria in a whole. However sectorize the issue as to Christianize igbo and moslemnize hausa's is never a wise thinking of a complete peace preacher. Let's tackle the issue in the best of humanity than as in tribal or religious perspective.We have a few notherners who are christians and also many southerners who are christians as well. To conclude boko haram is an Islamic, may be Hausa if u want to brand it. thanx.

For Gods sake, why do this people like spilling blood everyday? This is too bad. Let there be peace or else we go our ways. Living with this northerners is frustrating

We can all agree that something needs to be done. Both well meaning Igbos and Yoruba, don't you see the true menace. How many of our brothers and sisters have been killed due to this madness?

tell Jonathan to declare a state of emergency in Borno and Plateau. Those who are supposed to act have not done so. Such acts can naturally thrive if no authority checks it

Let nothing happen to my sister in maiduguri else

all of you should all shut it

boko harem has southerners there esecally the yorubas so do not even start this north issue

yorubas are terrorist just like mend etc

do you even know the amount of JTf mend has killed all in the name of freedom fighting

do you know that 8 people die on independeace day alone in abuja so stop this rubbish
