Gunmen Kill Two In Nigeria After Boko Haram Football Warning by Nobody: 8:42pm On Apr 13, 2012

Gunmen shot dead
two men near a
community centre
showing soccer
matches in northern
Nigeria, days after
the Islamist group Boko Haram reportedly called
for such places to be closed, residents said
Friday.
The killing late Thursday in Potiskum came three
days after leaflets, said to be from Boko Haram,
were circulated there warning people to stay
away from such viewing centres, forcing some
to shut down, residents told AFP.
It was not clear why the Islamists would seek
their closure since such centres in the country's
mainly Muslim north typically do not serve
alcohol.
"Two gunmen knocked on the door of one of
the victims who lived next door from a soccer
viewing centre in Roseline neighbourhood
around 8:30 pm and shot him dead as soon as
he stepped out of the house," one resident said.
"The gunmen then turned and shot another
person standing nearby listening to a group of
soccer fans discussing previous ... matches
outside the soccer viewing centre."
Another resident who gave a similar account
said the crowd of soccer fans then fled.
A police spokesman said he had not been
notified of the incident in northeastern Nigeria, a
region where Boko Haram has carried out
scores of attacks.
Such viewing centres are popular throughout
Nigeria, providing residents with a place to
watch European football matches on satellite
television.
