Gunmen suspected to be
Boko Haram sect members,
Saturday, shot and killed a
security official suspected to
be a personnel of the
Department of Security
Servies (SSS) at Ajilari/Gomari
airport ward of Maiduguri,
the Borno state capital.
Four people have been killed
in the area this week,
including a General Manager
of a petrol station.
Our Correspondent gathered
that the gunmen who came
on foot wearing (Baban
Riga) flowing gowns, with
AK47 rifles hidden
underneath, ambushed the
security officer and shot him
dead before they fled
without being arrested.
A resident of the area who
did not want his name in
print for security reasons,
told our Correspondent that
the gunmen laid ambush on
the security personnel at
about 7:22pm.
He said, “we were sitting at
the frontage of our house
around 7:22pm when we
heard gunshots close to the
house, we immediately ran
into our homes for safety,
and just this morning we
learnt it was an DSS officer
that was shot dead”. He
stated.
