[size=14pt]Boko Haram sect reportedly kill father of arrested spokesman[/size]

Father of alleged Boko Haram spokesman, Abu Qaqa, was reportedly killed in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, by suspected sect members.

The purported sect’s spokesman, who was arrested in February by the State Security Service in Kaduna, has remained in SSS custody.

The Boko Haram sect has repeatedly denied that the man in custody is the sect’s spokesman; however, security officials insist they have the right man in custody.

Qaqa’s father, said to be a retired prison warder, was murdered alongside a former colleague on Monday evening as they prepared for prayers in Maiduguri, heartland of the sect.

A security official, speaking on the basis of anonymity as he was not authorised to release information, confirmed to the Associated Press that one of the murdered victims was infact the father of the suspected Boko Haram spokesman.

The fck Stupid Nigeria security team. Dont they know that if they arrest qaqa or whatever they are meant to place a surveillance on his family. Protect them and all. Anywhere goodluck to them with fighting terrorism like they are fighting pepper theft.

Really? There is nothing to show that his family are boko haram members, therefore there is no need to spy on them and infringe upon their rights.

Well did that man tell the security forces his son was a bokram member ?
No he didn't, he didn't save the lives of his son's victims, so why should we spend our taxes on saving his life ?

.... says the director of SSS.

Well, i think killing the man can harden and intimidate qaqa against making any useful information. Its a signal that should have been prevented. Catch a terrorist, protect and place a survellaince on the family cos the org is coming after them. When will Nigerian security learn?

I think that first of all a man in prison can be kept from any outside information if it had to be done. And I think the only effect this would have on Qaqa is a liberation from boko haram threat to his father and the quest for vengeance on bh, therefore he should open up quicker now.

i agree, if there be any human still left in him, then it's time for him to turn against the sect.

And how do u know that the father knows the attrocities of his son? If true, I expect the security forces should Av picked him to and charged him probably being an accomplice. As far as I am concerned, an innocent man has just been killed and it was very stupidd for not placing him under serious protection.

Do you know how many thousand boko haram members the SSS, prisons, army have under arrest? That would mean possibly tens or hundreds thousands for the intelligence services to watch. Your suggestion is utopian.

Even if the man had been kept under survellaince, it wouldn't have stopped anyone killing him - eyes looking at a person will not stop bullets aimed at the person.

And this is if the man in custody is indeed the real qaqa.

So you will rather believe terrorists!

Seems like the quality of life has now been reduced to a work-home arrangement in the North. Shame. I spent some great years in Kano and Biu.

this boko haram of a group are so useless. they kill irrelevant ppl. we were calling them to attend the pdp convention where they will help nigerians reduce the number of federal govt recognised criminals but they refused to show up
now na old man wey village them go kill. it is a very big shame to the useless group.

My brief- boko haram killed the man to send a strong message to qaqa and other detainees, 'sing and ur immediate family, wives and children will be next',
or, the security agency murderd the man, making it look like a boko job, just to make qaqa harden up against boko, exposing them on his quest for vengance.

Why don't you build a shrine to worship boko haram?
Blood-sucking fool.

The story is having a twist. Approaching the interesting part when the sect starts turning against each other

I think our christian leaders need to organize a special fasting and prayer session for God to take control of the security situation of this country.This Boko Haram menace is beyond what the government and security agencies can manage.

Don't give too much into conspiracy theory, the most probable thing is that qaqa gave information and because of that bh drank his father's blood. But the thing is that if the government doesn't want bh members in jail to know what is going on outside then, then that would be very easy for gvt to do. So if this were a message then only outside members would get it.

My baby is crying in the living room, i think, just like you, that the gvt and security agencies can not manage it so please let us start fasting and praying.
Slowpoke!!!!!

patriot2:

I believe neither. I'm indifferent to both's claim cos I trust neither. However, I've no doubt that the man in custody must be a bh member. And personally I think this particular killing was by one of the alleged rival factions of the sect. But, then, I'm not a security expert.

Listen you have no reason to doubt SSS on this.
What you should know is that 99% of terrorism is propaganda, so actually bh news agents actually do more than the bh men carrying guns. terrorists are professional liars, that is the only way they can survive.
If the people is not afraid then the terror goes away.me I don't fear death, if bh came my street then i would come out with my gun and fight to my end if necessary. terror is only in your head. If you chose bravery, peace of mind, then terror will be no more.

Very Good!Now they're feasting on themselves. Very,Very Good!

They can eliminate themselves. Will make Nigerians happier

simples!

so u don't watchh the americans! And u don't knw that the family of avaluable terrorist nids protection? The sect members would look for all possible ways to get back at him for "letting them down" hence any of his family members!

Was JF kenedy(fmr american pressident) not under security watch b4 he was killed? Abu qaqa shuld start nailing the sect now......killing of qaqa's father was a collateral damage.Nigerian security is doing a good job.

nawa for some people for here o... Make them protect terrorist family it doesn't make any sense to me at all. You must reap what you sowed, simple!! If I hear say our police dey protect Qaqa family rubbish!
