Two policemen escorting immunization officials were shot dead today by gunmen at Kofar Dawanau area of Kano metropolis.

The attack took place shortly before 1pm, when the officers were taking drinks at a shop in the area. Three civilians, including a woman, were said to be injured in the attack.

Eyewitness said two gunmen riding a motorcycle attacked the policemen, before escaping into the neighbourhood.

Daily Trust gathered that about six policemen were accompanying a team of vaccinators administering polio vaccines when the incident happened. It was not, however, clear if the wounded were part of the polio campaign team.

“Two of the policemen had gone to a nearby canteen for refreshment, when the attackers came on a bike and shot them,” said an eyewitness.

“But the remaining policemen took to their heels, even though they were armed,” he added.

A police source told our correspondent that the assailants also took away guns belonging to their victims. One of the policemen was fatally shot in the head, it was learnt.

The killing, which was the first in days, caused fear among residents of possible reprisal attacks by law enforcement agents, thereby forcing people to desert the area.

Our correspondent reports that security had been stepped up in the state following the fresh attack.

No group has claimed responsibility for the killing, at the time of filing the report.

However, the Boko Haram sect had in the past took responsibilities for attacks on security agents.

Meanwhile, the state police commissioner, Ibrahim K. Idris, confirmed the attack, saying however that areas surrounding the scene had been cordoned off for possible arrest of the gunmen.

Here thy comest, Republic of Mandela

He deserve it though

While I am not faulting their action to have Mandela's picture on ALL their bank notes, even Mandela may object to this low thinking action. Mandela is on all the 5 new bank notes of South Africa.

You never read with your eyes open! Where was the word "killing" mentioned? I said deal with them + "christian brothers".
The present setup lead them to start thinking this way, Nigeria is corrupting people's mind!
Abeg help them rest.

Am I the only person seeing this?

They are back to the old version!

This is the dumbest demand ever! North is North, it doesn't matter if the contestant is Muslim or Christian or Atheist or any other religion. This is the reason why the country must be divided so that we can carefully deal with our Christian brothers. Enough of this show of ignorance. Haba!

I will come to the why, but before then, the response below shows Facebook really really hates to see you leave.

Hi Auwal,<BR><BR>We have received a request to permanently delete your account. Your account has been deactivated from the site and will be permanently deleted within 14 days. <BR><BR>If you did not request to permanently delete your account, please login to Facebook to cancel this request:<BR><BR>https://www.facebook.com/login.php<BR><BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>The Facebook Team

Yes! The message came with all the html elements <BR> which actually means to line break.

I use facebook not only to connect with friends, but I use their adverts, create pages, one of the page I created currently have more than 1,500 likes and active, I had to transfer the admin to another person whom I am sure will do the same too in the near future.

Now back to the reasons why I deleted, as quoted from here;

10. Facebook's Terms Of Service are completely one-sided. Let's start with the basics. Facebook's Terms Of Service state that not only do they own your data (section 2.1), but if you don't keep it up to date and accurate (section 4.6), they can terminate your account (section 14). You could argue that the terms are just protecting Facebook's interests, and are not in practice enforced, but in the context of their other activities, this defense is pretty weak. As you'll see, there's no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. Essentially, they see their customers as unpaid employees for crowd-sourcing ad-targeting data.

9. Facebook's CEO has a documented history of unethical behavior. From the very beginning of Facebook's existence, there are questions about Zuckerberg's ethics. According to BusinessInsider.com, he used Facebook user data to guess email passwords and read personal email in order to discredit his rivals. These allegations, albeit unproven and somewhat dated, nonetheless raise troubling questions about the ethics of the CEO of the world's largest social network. They're particularly compelling given that Facebook chose to fork over $65M to settle a related lawsuit alleging that Zuckerberg had actually stolen the idea for Facebook.

8. Facebook has flat out declared war on privacy. Founder and CEO of Facebook, in defense of Facebook's privacy changes last January: "People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time." More recently, in introducing the Open Graph API: "... the default is now social." Essentially, this means Facebook not only wants to know everything about you, and own that data, but to make it available to everybody. Which would not, by itself, necessarily be unethical, except that ...

7. Facebook is pulling a classic bait-and-switch. At the same time that they're telling developers how to access your data with new APIs, they are relatively quiet about explaining the implications of that to members. What this amounts to is a bait-and-switch. Facebook gets you to share information that you might not otherwise share, and then they make it publicly available. Since they are in the business of monetizing information about you for advertising purposes, this amounts to tricking their users into giving advertisers information about themselves. This is why Facebook is so much worse than Twitter in this regard: Twitter has made only the simplest (and thus, more credible) privacy claims and their customers know up front that all their tweets are public. It's also why the FTC is getting involved, and people are suing them (and winning).

6. Facebook is a bully. When Pete Warden demonstrated just how this bait-and-switch works (by crawling all the data that Facebook's privacy settings changes had inadvertently made public) they sued him. Keep in mind, this happened just before they announced the Open Graph API and stated that the "default is now social." So why sue an independent software developer and fledgling entrepreneur for making data publicly available when you're actually already planning to do that yourself? Their real agenda is pretty clear: they don't want their membership to know how much data is really available. It's one thing to talk to developers about how great all this sharing is going to be; quite another to actually see what that means in the form of files anyone can download and load into MatLab.

5. Even your private data is shared with applications. At this point, all your data is shared with applications that you install. Which means now you're not only trusting Facebook, but the application developers, too, many of whom are too small to worry much about keeping your data secure. And some of whom might be even more ethically challenged than Facebook. In practice, what this means is that all your data - all of it - must be effectively considered public, unless you simply never use any Facebook applications at all. Coupled with the OpenGraph API, you are no longer trusting Facebook, but the Facebook ecosystem.

4. Facebook is not technically competent enough to be trusted. Even if we weren't talking about ethical issues here, I can't trust Facebook's technical competence to make sure my data isn't hijacked. For example, their recent introduction of their "Like" button makes it rather easy for spammers to gain access to my feed and spam my social network. Or how about this gem for harvesting profile data? These are just the latest of a series of Keystone Kops mistakes, such as accidentally making users' profiles completely public, or the cross-site scripting hole that took them over two weeks to fix. They either don't care too much about your privacy or don't really have very good engineers, or perhaps both.

3. Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to truly delete your account. It's one thing to make data public or even mislead users about doing so; but where I really draw the line is that, once you decide you've had enough, it's pretty tricky to really delete your account. They make no promises about deleting your data and every application you've used may keep it as well. On top of that, account deletion is incredibly (and intentionally) confusing. When you go to your account settings, you're given an option to deactivate your account, which turns out not to be the same thing as deleting it. Deactivating means you can still be tagged in photos and be spammed by Facebook (you actually have to opt out of getting emails as part of the deactivation, an incredibly easy detail to overlook, since you think you're deleting your account). Finally, the moment you log back in, you're back like nothing ever happened! In fact, it's really not much different from not logging in for awhile. To actually delete your account, you have to find a link buried in the on-line help (by "buried" I mean it takes five clicks to get there). Or you can just click here. Basically, Facebook is trying to trick their users into allowing them to keep their data even after they've "deleted" their account.

2. Facebook doesn't (really) support the Open Web. The so-called Open Graph API is named so as to disguise its fundamentally closed nature. It's bad enough that the idea here is that we all pitch in and make it easier than ever to help Facebook collect more data about you. It's bad enough that most consumers will have no idea that this data is basically public. It's bad enough that they claim to own this data and are aiming to be the one source for accessing it. But then they are disingenuous enough to call it "open," when, in fact, it is completely proprietary to Facebook. You can't use this feature unless you're on Facebook. A truly open implementation would work with whichever social network we prefer, and it would look something like OpenLike. Similarly, they implement just enough of OpenID to claim they support it, while aggressively promoting a proprietary alternative, Facebook Connect.

1. The Facebook application itself sucks. Between the farms and the mafia wars and the "top news" (which always guesses wrong - is that configurable somehow?) and the myriad privacy settings and the annoying ads (with all that data about me, the best they can apparently do is promote dating sites, because, uh, I'm single) and the thousands upon thousands of crappy applications, Facebook is almost completely useless to me at this point. Yes, I could probably customize it better, but the navigation is ridiculous, so I don't bother. (And, yet, somehow, I can't even change colors or apply themes or do anything to make my page look personalized.) Let's not even get into how slowly your feed page loads. Basically, at this point, Facebook is more annoying than anything else.

They are supposed to put an "Under Construction" notice until they complete the work.
But choosing Joomla is really a bad idea.

These are the kind of things that Boko Haram uses to propagate with and gain more followers, even suicide bombers. Imagine if someone get his children killed, his wife raped and killed while he is watching, he knew well that no justice will be done, if spared, where do you think he will head to? Of course straight to the BH, to take the next suicide mission. This is serious and justice must be done.

Where can I download/buy this book? Is there an e-book for it? I see so much truth in it.

This is very bad.

Even though this might seem to be an old Report of Human Rights Situation in Nigeria compiled by the United Nations in 1996. It is still interesting to note that the report actually claimed that the Yoruba are in the South East, while the Ibo in the South West as you can see in the quote below.

C. Historical background

6. According to a 1995 report of the United Nations Development Programme,
Nigeria has a population of 102 million, composed of some 400 ethnic,
religious or linguistic groupings. The four main groupings are the Hausa and
the Fulani in the north, the Yoruba in the south-east and the Ibo in the
south-west. In what is now known as the Federal Republic of Nigeria, there
have been many ethnic conflicts and inter-ethnic tensions.

It means, UN will listen to Biafra this time around!

All hail Biafra!

miracle4: you must be very funny aren't you still seeing ads when you make a search via nairaland custom search bar?

Oh right?

You don't need Adsense to create google custom search engine for your website. They will add ads to the result even if you are not on adsense, just like they do on their own site. Whether NL is banned or not, what do I stand to benefit by saying it is banned? After all it is a query that lead to the result, not my own opinion.

Aniah4u: I just read thru de comment in d website(saharareporters) and noticed it came from an anonymous poster. I smell a rat. Auwal87 and his cronies must be D anonymous,trying to incite an unmanagable situation here. He must B disregarded.

Attacking the messenger to kill the message.

Also tell people I am the one who made the comment below;

The ‘operation restore order’ in Maiduguri, by the Joint Task Force, seems to be producing more terrorists than it eliminates. When children witness the brutal killings of their parents, with little or no consolations, they grow up to become spiteful of every representation of civil obedience; and vend violence.

Below is a comment made on Sahara Reporters, read the bold part.

Quite okey JTF are doing a well done work in combating terrorists in Borno and Yobe States,but the biggest problem is they don't actually know who they are fighting with, therefore, they(JTF) end up killing law abidding citizens of Nigeria whom they were deployed to protect. If anything happened in an area,more especially if they(JTF) were attacked the moment another group of JTF arrived anybody they came into contact with is a boko haram they (JTF) don't care to know they will just shoot and kill you, am an eye witnessed in maiduguri. The JTF should check the activities and operations of their officers and men because one officer called yellow by people in maiduguri an igbo man who they said was brought up in maiduguri used to say they will kill northerners because northerners killed their people during "BIAFRAN WAR" in revenge. Therefore, JTF and Govt. should keep eyes on him. JTF or GOVT should verify this information from the residents of maiduguri to have proves.

If that is true, then there is something really serious and alarming, for people to start hearing that. How can someone then expect the locals to corporate with the JTF if that is what is being circulated, and the government saying nothing or doing nothing, hiding everything under the carpet won't solve any problem, it will only escalate this and everything will be worse, and before you know it the military will start pointing the guns to themselves, and we will have yet another bad war. God forbid.

WoWWW!

Due to persistent hostility of the Ministry of Aviation, with a minister who is demanding a 5percent equity in a business where she has no investment...and FAAN management, which has culminated in the use of FAAN staff to stop the airline operations and lock in checked-in passengers in Lagos this morning, Arik Air has suspended all domestic operations until further notice. This issue bothers on personal interests, and not payment of bills; since FAAN has been collecting their charges in advance since 18 months now.

Rudebwoy: The two editions of regional census I have witnessed on NL showed that the region with the least population is the North. What might be the cause? Are they not aware of NL or don't they have internet access? Even when a phone-in network programme is being broadcast on radio nigeria, one can hardly hear callers from the north. I think People who are clamouring for 'one Nigeria' should be more nigerians that others.

THEY have a better job to do. Unfortunately, Nairaland is no longer a forum where constructive discussions are taking place.

The screenshot below should answer OP's question
