Local Govt Chairman Shot Dead In Borno by nawaforweo: 9:36am On Aug 29, 2011

KANO, - Gunmen have stormed the home of a local government chairman in Nigeria's northeast and shot him dead, a state official said Monday, amid a wave of such attacks blamed on an Islamist sect.


The attackers killed Lawan Yaraye, chairman of Kukawa district in Borno state, where most of the attacks blamed on the Islamist sect known as Boko Haram have occurred. His home was in the city of Maiduguri, the epicentre of the violence.

Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for Friday's suicide bombing of UN headquarters in the capital Abuja, but police are considering all possibilities.

"Unknown gunmen stormed the house of the chairman last night and shot him dead," Borno state local government commissioner Kaka Bashir Gabai said. "We still don't know who the gunmen were and why they decided to kill him."

Yaraye lived in Maiduguri, but the district he was chairman of is located some 100 kilometres away from the city, which is the capital of Borno state.

Boko Haram has been blamed for scores of such attacks in recent months. If it is found to be behind the UN bombing that killed at least 21, it would mark a dramatic shift in its violent campaign.

this is terrible, what are the agitations of this group
since they have rejected dialogue, then i think we(Nigeria) should be ready for their entire destruction YES!!!

one of the advantages of violent-nurtured leaders is that no one would try this thrash with them, like gaddafi, asi, zangilo of zambia,

i'm so sic and tired of reaaading about this Book Haram. It's quite worrisome that their religion is based of War and it's quite obvious that nothing good can come out of War.
Ask an Enviromentalist from Germany!
Re: Local Govt Chairman Shot Dead In Borno by kizito96(m): 12:48am On Aug 31, 2011
Boko Haram are just killing here and there. If the Northern Leaders think they are only out to kill Southerners, they are making a mistake. Until they kill the relative of a big Northerner, then they will act. It is an ill wind that blows no good
